Thanks, Diman, for mentioning the article. It was on my long-term agenda of
things to do (TM). I am the editor of the article and luckily convinced Eric
and Diman to write and QA it, respectively.

Unfortunately, I have no control about how the articles are distributed, but
Diman is right: It is in German anyway. If you're interested in an English
(or Spanish or Portuguese or Polish, for that matter) version, I can just
recommend to write a short message to the editor-in-chief. For the US Linux
Pro Magazine that's Joe Casad, Editor-in-Chief, edit_at_linux-magazine.com.

Regards,
