The link from ndame links to is the correct article. I didn't know it was avialable online. I forgott to say unfortunately, I am sorry; Linux Format is a payed printed magazine, so you have to either be a subscriber to read the full article online, or to buy a paper copy of the magazine. I think it is worth, but it's a personal choice.
