There used be theree magazines whose name contain "linux".
They are Linux Journal, Linux Magazine and Maximum Linux.
Linux Journal is the oldest, and MaximumLinux is gone.

You can check the contents at http://www.linuxmagazine.com/ and
http://www.linuxjournal.com.

For general (Unix) system administration, there is a magazine called
SysAdmin.

There is also a magazine called open, which boasts "Linux and Open
Source for e-Business". It contains not-so-technical linux-related articles.

Cheapest way is to subscribe directly. For example, 12 issue of Linux
Journal for subscription from Japan is $62. 

If you just want to check, go to TowerBooks. It's a book section of
Tower Records.

TowerBooks in Shibuya has a wide variety of computer magazines.

TowerBooks in Shinjuku has a not-bad selection of general magazines,
but has few computer magazines.  Last Saturday, I saw Linux Magazine,
Maximum Linux, open. I got "open" at 990yen.

In Akihabara, a computer shop called Amulet sells Linux Journal.
I remember it is sold under 1000yen.
