Good to see Adobe Acrobat 3D but still no signs of 3Ds Max 8. The hardware reviews are decreasing with each issue.

[Satissh S]

Whoa!!! Fantastic job there nimish..superb contents and atlast my wish satisfied!!. soo much emphasis on GNU\linux.. is extremely heartening to see!! Once in a while.. though ;) And about the fasttrack to GNU\Linux.. which distro does it cover or GNU\Linux in general?? I would have liked if fc5 would have made into.. but i know it's too late for its arrival.. Thumbs up!! 8) :D

[Vishal Gupta]

Contents r really nice this time :wink:

[desertwind]

I'm gonna buy this issue(after missing 3 issues). Atlast GNU/Linux has got some coverage. Some distros, some softwares and Fast Track too. This is great!

[praka123]

Thanks Nimish and DIGIT having LInux again coming back!.waiting for my copy/\

[hariharan]

how about the digit Software Archive 2006 0.2 beta? what additional features does it include or what modifications have been made?

[mehulved]

Best cd contents I have seen in a last few months. And magazine contents too seem good. I might just buy it this time.
A lot more coverage to linux this time! Though I don't need any of them but still it will be great for many others.

[FatBeing]

how about the digit Software Archive 2006 0.2 beta? what additional features does it include or what modifications have been made?

A (hopefully) less frustrating search engine, even more search criteria (freeware/shareware, individual categories, month and year), an install button so you can just insert the appropriate cd and install the software from the archive itself.

There might be more, but I'm too bored to check right now.

[manas]

Linux at last.Thanks for the emphasis for Linux.

[Tech&ME]

OH!!! It seems Digit has come back again after a long holiday.

Keep this alive Digit and don't go on honeymoon again.

[True Geek]

hmm.........content seems immpressive

i think i'll also buy it,this time around

[soham]

I don't understand what's the need to provide both Adobe Acrobat 3D and Adobe Acrobat Professional. The 3D version has all the features of the pro version plus some added features. Check it out yourself:

[Darthvader]

Magazine looks a little incomplete but still good

[blackpearl]

So this month its Linux special. Hmmmm.... not bad. And thanks for the Fast Track on Linux.

The Acronis Disk Director Suite was given on the January issue but it was useless becoz it did not allow us to perform any type of function. It was simply a non working version of the original. Total waste. I hope this time its different.... or is it not??

[Aries]

4 Distros.....Even though a few are too old....
Good to see some Mac Stuff too

Fast Track on Linux....Cooooool

[True Geek]

Oops.

[aku]

wastage of space with ubuntu
Satisfactory contents

[QwertyManiac]

Ubuntu ROXX, Didnt like KuBuNtu that much, a GNOME fan now :)

[~Phenom~]

This issue seems to be Linux special , waiting for my issue...

[hariharan]

how many months does the Digit Software archive 0.2 beta include in its database? just from the beginning of this year or the previous years also?

[dIgItaL_BrAt]

Good contents.

[sujithtom]

No GTA?? No upate for shockwave player? I am gonna kill the person who downloaded with my rocket launcher (assuming he is in a game). But Fast Track on Linux COOL! EXCELLENT

[g_goyal2000]

Now that's what I call some hardcore contents.
Finally some really good stuff after a long time.
Had been getting p_i_s_s_e_d off for so many months.
Reason: late preview, no fulfillment of requests, ignorance, bad magazine & CD/DVD contents, etc.

And at least, u fulfilled some of my requests:

NetBeans IDE 5
NetBeans IDE 5.0 + Application Server 8.2 Bundle Installer
Windows AMD64 Platform - J2SE(TM) Development Kit 5.0 Update 6

Linux Distros

DivX Create 6.1

Digit Software Archive 2006 0.2 Beta
Winamp 5.2
Adobe Reader 7.0.7
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional

It's not all I requested but I think they'll suffice.

[go4saket]

Such a hard luck for me...

I had been requesting for Adobe Acrobat and Ulead Movie Factory since the last three months, but never found them and so downloaded them just yesterday...

Anyways, thanks to Digit for hearing our requests at last. CD & DVD contents really seem to be impressive.

[dissel]

Between FC5 and Suse 10.1, I wud go for FC :D It roxxx

[casanova]

Linux issue. I am not happy with the cd\dvd contents. Too much linux for a winxp fan.

Mag articles look good. Also, ubuntu was unnecessary since it can be ordered for free and that too in quantities.

Also, i already have the adobe suite.

Mac s/ws. Whos using mac here.


I am really upset.

[Charan]

Corel DRAW Graphics Suite X3 :D thanks for that.

[MysticHalo]

NiCE !!! Great, finally some cool distros........BTW who needs Byzantine when Gentoo is available.....BYZANTINE should've been SUSe
And that Mac stuff is unnecessary...i dun think there's a single person using it (in india)

And some system utilities for XP is wht we need more.......
THX a lot for ICE AGE 2 trailer

overall, its kool 8)

[mehulved]

AFAIK there are a few Mac users here in the forum. And they might find it useful and there may be quite a few amongst the readers too. You cannot ignore minority for majority. Hasn't this been the case for linux too?

[sujithtom]

Hey hey stop giving out the same softwares u provided last month. Why the hell are u providing Turbo Internet Accelerater again?

[MysticHalo]

AFAIK there are a few Mac users here in the forum. And they might find it useful and there may be quite a few amongst the readers too. You cannot ignore minority for majority. Hasn't this been the case for linux too?
Well, linux is a different case. The Linux users have been on a rise ever since, but i dont c much future for mac. Currently the OS distribution for WINDOWS:LINUX:MAC=100:10:1
But yeah, i m sorry. There should be something for every1 :)
All i want is more freeware system software and less of shareware, specially those with limited trial period (in case it isn't a major software like Flash or Photoshop)

[g_goyal2000]

Linux issue. I am not happy with the cd\dvd contents. Too much linux for a winxp fan.

Dude, also think about ither users who are linux fans.
Digit gives WinXp fans WinXP softwares each month, that too in lumpsum.
For once, Digit gave linux fans something they were asking for since long time time back, in a lumpsum.
I'm a WinXP fan too (like most of other users in this forum) & I have no problem with Digit giving linux s/w or OS's.
Dude just chill out.
I don't know what's u'r problem.

[casanova]

yeh, i know other people want linux s/ws. But we r here to say wat we like and wat we dont. I just casted my vote.
Also, the win s/ws are not pleasing me.

[sujithtom]

watever plz don't provide s/w for Mac b'coz only 2 or 3 ppl have Mac at thier homes. Linux s/w is ok

[sujithtom]

PLZZZZZZZZZZ GIVE US SUSE 10.1 IN MAY INSTEAD OF FEDORA CORE 5!
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

What ya all say?

Between FC5 and Suse 10.1, I wud go for FC :D It roxxx

Madriva for me :D

[saurabh.sauron]

best contents of the CD so far...gr8 work...
fast track of linux is just what i wanted...being a beginner to linux.
looking forward to opera article.
could have done with more of essential tools though.

[mako_123]

Nice to see the Linux Distros but still no Wallpapers .

[sujithtom]

Ah atlast heres a digit issue everybody is gonna be happy about. But still one can't have everything mako. I wish they would provide latest shockwave player and GTA and I have been demainding it from March.

Someday....

[azaad_shri75]

cd containing DSL fails to boot

[andi1984]

good but still no wallpapers! dissapointed!

[baccilus]

The contents this time are awsome. I am going to buy it inspite of my exams. I am especially pleased about fast track to linux and linux distros. I have been particularly interested in linux lately. Thanks again guys. Keep it up!

[MysticHalo]

Hey guys, the gentoo installation is only 50 mb....is that full version or what? I saw on the net and found it to be minimal installation pack.
Can any1 tell me the difference between 50mb minimal installation disk and a 6k MB Live CD?
Will this gentoo instllation have all the features that r available in gentoo?

[mehulved]

well if its only 50 mb then it is a minimum install cd and worthless unless u have a broadband connection without data limits. You will have to download all the packages. This has bare minimum install packages. I don't think it even has Xorg.

[MysticHalo]

well if its only 50 mb then it is a minimum install cd and worthless unless u have a broadband connection without data limits. You will have to download all the packages. This has bare minimum install packages. I don't think it even has Xorg.

And how much would Ubuntu of 620 mb have?I have seen Linux as big as 3.5 Gb (SUSE 10), so i dont think that this one is complete either

[mehulved]

Well no distro can be completely full of all the softwares available out there. But, Ubuntu has enough packages to get it working for the needs of day to day users. It has almost all the softwares that a normal person may need for day to day use. And Ubuntu is light years easier to install then gentoo.

[andi1984]

This issue's cd and dvd suck!it has nothing for home users! I request you guys to please include about 100 celebrity and nature wallpapers everytime!

i am terribly dissapointed with this issue. though magzine is good, but cd, dvd and fastrack are USELESS AND WORTHLESS! i feel CHEATED THIS TIME!RUBBISH!

[MysticHalo]

I request you guys to please include about 100 celebrity and nature wallpapers everytime!
i dont understanf y u guys want wall papers, maybe u havent heard of Google Image/yahoo image searches ;)

[QwertyManiac]

This issue's cd and dvd suck!it has nothing for home users! I request you guys to please include about 100 celebrity and nature wallpapers everytime!

i am terribly dissapointed with this issue. though magzine is good, but cd, dvd and fastrack are USELESS AND WORTHLESS! i feel CHEATED THIS TIME!RUBBISH!

Quite opposite since lots of my wishes were fullfilled by this one... tho Gentoo was a disappointment... :) Celebs? They only do so much to repeat the same wallies again and again, so its better if they dont give at all...

Fastrack was useless and worthless? :shock: looks like u need to use your comp rather than sit and jus see image galleries and cycle wallies... :|

[Tapomay]

Cover is great but the coverstory is worst.

[sujithtom]

Fastrack are USELESS AND WORTHLESS! i feel CHEATED THIS TIME!RUBBISH!

What did u except? A book which has all console commands and can instantly make u a linux geek?? Dude even those 100 kg books having 1000+ pages can't do tht. Fast track was excellent. It rekindled my intrest in Linux.

[mehulved]

c'mon qwerty and sujithtom stop attacking that poor guy. He's just expressing his opinion. Not everyone is interested in installing linux and messing around with different softwares and all. He just wants to use his computer for doing daily tasks and stuff.
Good to know that the fast track book interested you'll and a lot more people to linux.
Hats off to digit for giving out that book.
Maybe digit should try to accomodate full install cd of gentoo of ~690 mb in future. It's a nice distro for people who can find their way around linux.

[PinKLip]

I am thankfull to digit team for Fast-Track on LINUX.
I planning to learn linux.
Please tell me which distro will suit me up?
I am totally Idiot to linux :(

[QwertyManiac]

@tech_your_future - Ok, sorry :|

@PinkLip - Try Ubuntu/mandrake first and then on to FC :)

[Ashis]

Where is the Damn Small Linux ????
Give me the address in the CD (April)?

If U don't have it in the CD then Why do u give the image on the top of the cover ??? :evil:

When I inserted the CD thats the only thing I looked UP for & to my frustration I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For! :roll:

[praka123]

Buuddd,the CD itself is DSL!,boot from CD,if u dont get set ur bios to have first boot device as ur CD/DVD drive..DSL will boot from it...hahahaha

[sujithtom]

I am thankfull to digit team for Fast-Track on LINUX.
I planning to learn linux.
Please tell me which distro will suit me up?
I am totally Idiot to linux :(

If u have never experienced Linux I recommend try a live cd first. Try Knoppix the best one around and its free. After making urselves familiar with the nix envirnoment install Mandriva or Linspire which has the best novice friendly environment. Linspire is not free.

[Ashis]

Buuddd,the CD itself is DSL!,boot from CD,if u dont get set ur bios to have first boot device as ur CD/DVD drive..DSL will boot from it...hahahaha

O00h......
Should have told that! :D
But unfortunately I downloaded it last nit :lol:
& typin this message in it! (FireFox...no Opera) :cry:

[PinKLip]

my thanks goes to -----
sujithtom
QwertyManiac and also to all
so i should try Knoppix and ubuntu
Thanks again

[MysticHalo]

hey, the articles in the main magazine turned out to be dissappointing...specially when i spent half my pocket money on that....:(
Only the one on Piracy was cool.
And that gentoo linux turned out to be only minimal install....arrrrggghh!!!!
I specially bought the magazine for gentoo and Fast track...but #%&#*^&##!!

And yeah, xcept Ubuntu and a FEW apps, the software is bogus...all shareware thingy put down...most of which r useless sort-of.

[blackpearl]

Except the softwares on Linux and the Fast track, the rest of the stuff on the DVD was useless.

Also that article on Piracy....it was bull$h|t. A software is developed by dozens of developers working together and for something like the Windows, hundreds of developers are involved. To deliberately leave a loophole in the programming would amount to a conspiracy involing hundreds of developers at different levels and even people more the management, which is impossible. Besides to think that each and every s/w company is doing this is rubbish. Windows and all s/ws have enough security problems already and to purposefully leave a security hole is simply absurd. How can anyone come to think of such an idea?

Perhaps Agen001's friend doesn't know the principle behind cracking softwares. A software is just a piece of code which can disassembled without even knowing the source code and then the assembly program can be modified to simply jump over the subroutine that imposes restriction upon the usage of the s/w. Anybody with a decent knowledge on assembly langauge can crack a program.

[sujithtom]

But whos this Agent 001?

[coolman.guron]

finally after 2 years i bought a copy of digit...
thanks for all the linux but even more for the fast track to linux its greattttt though i know a lot more o f linux then that. :wink:

restrain from double posting,its not the right place to ask this question,separate opensource section is there for such queries, any way to help you by the queries you have posted it seems you have no idea of linux and dual booting,
you cant install it in c drive where windows is installed.
you have to first install windows and create required partitions and leave say 10gb free space for linux,
when you are done with windows boot from the first rhel cd and follow the simple instructions and select the required packages for installation, when boot loader option comes you can select which OS to make default and also you can select the required OS for booting when the system starts booting, as a splash screen appears with menu to select,I think this breif instructions are enough for you, more queries post in the appropriate section.
