[Raaabo]

Unavoidable circumstances have led to the November 2008 demand thread not being created. I've decided to give you guys more time to demand goodies for the December issue. So fire away!

[azaad_shri75]

any ways whats there for november,

for december, a complete hardware shoot out, especially motherboards, cpus, rams, video/gfx cards, monitors, cabinets and smps,

and household goods ie consumers electronics like cellphones, acs, tvs etc,.

I want December' 08 issue to be as special for mobiles.
Pl consider the followings..

1. Mobile Phone reviews- full range (low-mid-high phones)

2. Mobile software REVIEWS l Games for S60 & java platforms.(may be separated by system,fun,games, communications,audio,video,etc.. As usual)

3.Mobile - Troubleshooting (for common problems)

4. Provide a DVD for full of mobile stuff.
(it would have various free software / ring tones/ music / videos / games/ mobile phone's specifications / etc..)

5. Fast track to MOBILE OS.(Microsoft Mobile / Symbian / Blackberry / Android )

6. Latest Tech news in & around mobile communications

7. Provide an end-user opinion on each mobile brand.

8. Discussion about futures of Mobiles with Tech Experts.

i thought raaabo will never return with this by demand...
great to see u again..
want a great issue with lots of dvd linux distros..
ur mag is good..
so keep on
and tell us what we r getting in november issue please

A thick magazine with no future prediction and sci-fi stuff. (No five part jumbo please, we tend to lose them often)

Workshops on software and hardware setup for SOHO (Like the Free Proxy Setup and FreeNAS articles you published)

A budget PC with good graphics recommendation from agent.

Fast Track to latest releases of Ubuntu, Mandriva,.............. Web Designing, DOS, C++, (now make it five parts, black and white will do, with that kind of Paper quality, even color printing will not make any difference. The Fastrack should be thick.

Two Dual Layer DVD will do, Bundle Large softwares and downloads, smaller ones we can download ourselves. Give us the latest release of Metallica and Rasmus, Death Magnetic & Black Roses respectively.

How to assemble a external HDD with the casing and both laptop and desktop HDisk.

[Anorion]

@tallbeing
the thick mag and no future prediction stuff is noted

@betruger
A DVD full of mobile stuff is a good idea... wonder if there is 8GB of distributable stuff out there...

@topgear
Check the October DVD tools>system section for 3D Mark Vantage - you can use it only once though.
RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP3 Update Pack will be in the November DVD

@everyone
A lot of linux distros in demand. Keep posting requests.

[unni]

Entire Ubuntu 8.10 repository (binaries alone)

Note everything or else...................


P.S. I don't know what to do, please help.

Kubuntu, Zen, CentOS, Dyna:Bolic, ArtisX, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, AXIS,

Give all the latest releases of these distros, and if any one of them has already been included in any previous issue provided it is the latest one, then you can skip those. More Distros are welcome

Try to give priority to the ones that fit in one CD. I am about to install any one of these in my school PC that does not have a DVD ROM. Moreover some of the guyz here might have Combo. So burning DVD will be a great problem.

Lastly, bundle at least one Distro which one is Very Light on system (not more than 128 MB RAM, 2.4 GHz Frequency Processor) Most of us have an old PC or even two lying around and are pretty bored of that Win 98 OS

At least a Fast Track on Ubuntu.

[alexanderthegreat]

I'd like to add something... (Knowing that I'll be peacefully ignored, no problem!)
Could you guys also give away the game "Freespace 2". I mean, the FULL game, not the rippped off single-player-campaign-only one you guys provided in the June 2006 DVD. It comes on 2 or 3 CDs. Original CDs of that game do cost something but according to its license agreement, one can freely distribute it! The one on the June 2006 DVD did not have cutscenes and asked for CD#2 or 3 to play any custom missions developed using the FRED editor.

EDIT:Also, could you guys PLEASE(I'm not gonna type hundreds of 'em, nope!) include the following:
1:>America's Army 2.8.3.1 patch
2:> America's Army 2.8.4 patch(no full version available*sigh*)
Note: the link above(no.2) may not work after Friday(says the server owner). In that case simply change the "s202" in those links to "s53"(says the server owner, again).

+1,

(Fast Track to Ubuntu or OpenSUSE or Mandriva (all latest))

Mobile Stuff, but please do not forget Symbian S60v2 & v1 (i know S60v3 & Windows mobile are more popular nowadays.)

[Krazy Bluez]

At least a Fast Track on Ubuntu. ....PleasePleasePleasePlease....

A nice idea....by the way, I would like the 5 dual layer DVD to come again, and please give us a full blown single layer DVD of Knoppix, as it is very handy and is the only live disc one can ask for....also please don't give films of the 70's as hardly anyone would watch them instead they can be filled with demo\review videos of games and movies...

Hey one request though, the DIGIT interface that has been given in the DVD's rocks but can you just change it as I have became bored of seeing the same VISTA type screens (Linux will be better ! lol) but something different for the special edition ???

Ok. edited my post.
Also nice to hear that you're going to include ryanvm pack on november

But, I've one more humble request :
Please do include the vmware workstation for windows on november or december month's disc.
I know about virtualbox but that is not enough for me.
So please kindly give the vmware workstation for windows.

[ajsanjay]

That Torrent player in your Sep 2008 issue made my system crash. Does it really work?- cuz it'd be awesome if it did- I wouldn't know cuz i use vista
In Dec 2008 issue please provide info on the new norton 2009 internet security release. My antivirus subscription for Norton 2006 Internet Security is going to end soon so it'd nice if there was an article on best anti-viruses- open source ones as well. I want a Remote Keylogger with remote installation features (can be sent through email) and stuff that can make Vista stable(if such a thing exists) and software to make my torrents secure and faster.

[MetalheadGautham]

How about the entire 3-4DVD debian lenny disc set, when it releases ?
