Fast Track To Security

Please justify why Digit gives .NET Framework 1.1 instead of .NET Framework 2.0

The Digit Archive is built on 1.1. Anyhow, we're porting it to 2.0 this month, so October onwards you'll see Framework 2.0 as an essential.

[rakeshishere]

One doubt in here..Suppose an application works on .net 1.1 framework and i have .net 2.0 framework installed..Will the application not work or shud i install both 1.1 and 2.0

Nope. It's a little silly that way. You'll need both frameworks.

[Pathik]

[rakeshishere]

But i dwnld some s/w --probably some dnwld manager..It required .net 1.1 and i had 2.0 installed and still i was unable to install it

[Sykora]

Oops! I just finished downloading Legends. Ah well. Do linux users get that text-file index we've been asking for?

[Pathik]

yup u need both 1.1 nd 2.0.. 2.0 isnt backward compatible

[aditya.shevade]

Good thing that you are giving that LINUX distro info in magazine.

[rakeshishere]

[Vishal Gupta]

Inkjet and Laser. We can't test them on the same platform, so they can't be in the same issue.

The special offers are basically paid software, but Digit readers get a free serial key. The total cost of the free stuff comes up to Rs 4600. Or in the Indian context, you save about two hours of crack-hunting.

[santu_29]

sob... still no FC5

[paul_007]

good contents in CD/DVD

magazine articles are also looking interesting...

[Neeraj Singh]

I have seen K lite 1.55
Still you guys are sticking with you favourite(maybe) 1.53
Are you guys going to get your Digit Archive beyond beta ???
It needs a lot of improvements

[~Phenom~]

Nothing really exciting.
