100+ Icons for Windows
High quality icons from the GANT pack
15 WindowBlinds Themes
240+ Wallpapers including Hollywood/Bollywood Celebrities, Games and Cool Cars

[drgrudge]

Even i am disapointed....

* So much for linux..., we never had this much! 7
* Wht the hell, we have a physics e-books?


But a good collection of games, i must say...

[shanim]

was hoping Digit would include Suse Professional 9.2

thanks to digit i got real impressed by suse when u'd given us the personal edition and for the first time in my life felt linux was easy to use! but my excitement was short lived as the personal edition had no way of installing software simply 'coz it didn't have a compiler and u needed RPMs to install stuff...wats worse? it didn't even have EMACS!!!! i get to know that suse professional 9.0 had all that stuff...tried my best to get my hand on it back then but sadly it wasn't available anywhere around...all u could see was mandrake and fedora....finally Novell decides to give it off free, a whopping 1.5GB worth...or is it more? doesn't matter...its a whole DVD worth of OS...talk about dreams come true....well almost...sadly i can't get that much of chunk dloaded from my dial up, can't go to a reliance webworld and get it down on my USB (its just 1GB...not big enough) and wat more...i don't have a DVD burner....my last hope...DIGIT....hehe alright i agree the numbers don't really work out well...u'd have to put in two DVDs...but i'm sure that particular edition of Digit will sell like hotcakes....provided ur competition LFY/CHIP doesn't get there first.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese include it asap!

[vignesh]

where is suse 9.2

[Tux]

Y don't DIGIT give SUN's new OS.
I forgot Its name.
Yeah Solaris 10. Should give it a try.
DESKTOP THEMES part is only good.
They should have given 250+ instead of 240+
cause IT SOUNDS DAMN GOOD!

[drgrudge]

Can we see the front cover also byte? Pleaseeeeeeeeeee!

Want to see which chic (or ...) features on the cover.
Would like to see angelina jolie!

[Choto Cheeta]

come on byte.... most of us use winXP..... need to see more update patch.....

[naveenchandran]

nasa world wind is also great.

[tuxfan]

Hey Byte, why another distro (Games Knoppix)? Please don't keep giving distro every month. Give 50-100 applications/themes/skins in its place and in the balance space, please the Windows users

[techno_funky]

WOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"NASA World Wind with addon"
i was waiting for this one
SUNNY was like making go red in the face with jealousy
when he used to tell me about this proggy


hmmm contents cool man byte
another
for GTA1 and GTA 2

[Byte]

come on byte.... most of us use winXP..... need to see more update patch.....

I'm sorry but i don't understand this post. What do you mean? The latest Autopatcher is on the March DVD.

[Byte]

The addon for World Wind adds some Indian content. The Himalayas and such, if I remember correctly.

[Byte]

To all those complaining about TOO much Linux - the Distro is a small Live CD (v cool too!). That plus some Linux utilities, I think the Win/Lin balance is a good one.

[Prashray]

Good games this time.

[//siddhartha//]

Edited Raaabo, stop quoting big posts for nothing, just reply instead

Well, I am not happy with the above contents except few.... COme on, I need more of good quality Dev software, web design software and SuSe..
Anyways, the Gallery is a lot good...

[sms_solver]

Please give high res image of your mag and its DVD with all names of softwares given in DVD in IPTC information (keywords).

So that it will help me in searching in Picassa

(From April, you can do it)

[elumalai]

Grand Theft Auto full version but is it playable in my 810 onboard graphics...

[elumalai]

but did i forgot to say that all the other contents are excellent.... an issue with so many useful software..

Waiting for the march 2nd week... it is available only at that time in news stand.

[hsnayvid]

fine contents.

But three cheers to byte for doing the job perfectly before time.

Hip hip hurray!
Hip hip hurray!
Hip hip hurray!

Waiting for more updates.


Why not give some space for fonts also??

[cool_techie]

the contents are awesome,....
The development tools are good ....
I was badly in need of J2me stuff...thnx a lot

I wish if u were giving NET beans ide 4.0 and also the mobility pack ,so we could have used j2me also in the IDE ..any ways thanks ..,,,,

Also in the coming issues plz include more development tools .....As i feel a good chunk of readers would be intersted in software development

[cool_techie]

I have a question .....
Why for the subscribers the digit doesnt provide the hard case for the dvd..

Somehow i dont feel the punch of the dvd with out it.....

Do some thing about this,,,,its too disappointing atleast for me

[Darthvader]

SAme man i know courier problem. still u should provide case.
@elumalai: yaar obviously it will run

[Dipen01]

Well... Byte...

Good job but little disappointed.... was expecting more System Softwares and Devs.....Actually i guess the Linux contents are increasing every month...U can increase Desk. Themes and Wallpapers.. in thier place.. or more System utilities will be great....

Anyways... was Just my Point of View....

One more thing/.. am desperately waiting for SC Chaos Theory...

Cheers..
Dipen
