Wel, they promised two software DVDs and 1 single dvd with a movie. they have given two software dvds but not a movie DVD

[ThinkFree]

^^In December issue they gave six DVDs and with anniversary issue just 2!! What about price? It doesn't deserve to be Rs. 200

[azaad_shri75]

ah! at last the preview

it doesn't seem like a anniversary issue, mag contents seems ok , dvds just suck. not a 200/- Rs issue I think

[Quiz_Master]

I was going to buy..But skipping now....

What happened to my precious Digit... DVD contents are not gud..not worth!!

[Sathish]

Well Collections.....
But lot of items have been repeated...
"Jumo Fast TracK" - How much pages...???

Old Movies could have been avoided....

Overall.. Good Collection for a Tech Library...

[tgpraveen]

what happened to movie dvd which was promised?

anyways good mag contents and for once i am liking dvd contents
my vacations r startng in 10 days gr8 gift for me.

thx.

[Gigacore]

nice contents, but will those DVDs work ?

[cooldude666666]

I was hoping some good Unix...the last time you gave freeBSD images, they did not boot. I can say that because I tried three different copies of that issue. Thanks to my mag vendor. He was kind enough to let me do that.

[casanova]

Finally, the preview is out. I would get my hands on it tomorrow.

Helo guys atlast they felt ashmed and gave the details of june 2008. But still the work is not finished. They havn't update the web page. He gave it in the forum.
It proves that these guys are not able to handle the work. On 6 th of june their work is still not finished. Shame on you team digit or "dit-it for urself".

Have the old efficient staff fired and these useless are appointed.

Whats the use of Old flop movies, thats too not one but 7.
They had just to fill the space.
and 7 muzic albums who need them.
But I hope that magazine will have lots and lots of good things for us. And i had started believing that this issue will be memorable one. But only the Magazine.

My love digit.

Magazine contents are great but dvd is disappointing.

[abhinav_bipnesh]

Magazine content is fine but the 2 DVD they are useless as they are trying to fill the space with useless movies and music album which can be find easily on net with not much work also.
Also after 6 days over in June and even the website is not updated. So guys do some hard work to be on time as previous staff was much efficient in this case that they don't delay in updating the site and never the issue are circulated late like you guys do as if i remember correctly then this is 3rd issue which is late.

Also if you don't have good content for DVD then why you ship 2. provide us one DVD but the content should be great and don't repeat same utility which you share each month.
From my side for magazine
But DVD it's USELESS (except for Ubuntu)

So guys do some hard work to come to the same mark as you were perivously or we have to think why I have renewed my subscription............

[nihu]

who ever wants old black & white moovies? Please find something else to fillup DVD.

[joyjoy1232002]

WE DONT NEED THESE MOVIES please!!! Its just a means to fill up ?????

[anantkhaitan]

The mag contents seems to be interesting.. as for DVD I was expecting Fedora 9 but alas!
