Hi, all!
I've read recently published link to byte article and got an idea....
Was there a magazine related to UNIX systems in 70s-80s?
I had so much fun reading that Byte issue, even ads (especially ads!)
It is so fun...

Oh yes, there was Unix Review, and several others. Unix Review was
special in that
the editor chose to set up an Editorial Board by inviting key people in
the Unix
field, e.g. John Mashey, Steve Bourne, etc., to direct and comment upon
editorial content (in
a volunteer, as opposed to paid, fashion). The group met once a month at
Chantilly,
a posh restaurant in Palo Alto.

Reminds me of a story (might have been an urban legend) that someone
was making money out of these diners. He new when they where and
in exchange for money he would introduce people to the celebrities.

Nope. I was on those Boards. That didn't happen.

There were several, starting I guess in the 80s mostly. The one I remember
in particular was "Unix Review", but there were a few "journal" type
magazines that also specialized in Unix-y things (e.g., ";login:" from
USENIX; still published, I believe), and several associated with particular
vendors: "SunExpert" was one, if I recall correctly.
Occasionally, Unix and related things showed up in the "mainstream"
consumer computer press of the time. I can remember in particular an issue
of "PC Magazine" (I think June of 1993) that ran a lengthy couple of
articles proving machines from Sun and SGI, in addition to version of Unix
that ran on PCs (interestingly, Linux was omitted despite really starting
to capture a lot of the imagination in that space; similarly I don't recall
any mention of BSD).
Some of these old magazines are definitely blasts from the past.

There is also SGI's Iris Universe, which was their in-house magazine. I have no idea
when it started or ceased but I have quite a few of the early and mid 1990s issues that
have really great articles and advertisements.
I'll have to see if I can find them and scan them in to share.
