How about SUSE Linux 10.0 DVD this time???
It is the anniversary issue & u could fullfill the demands of all those people who want SUSE Linux 10.0 (or latest).

I'll post rest of my demands when the preview of May 2006 CD/DVD is out.
Hey, btw, since u have locked May 2006 CD/DVD post, how about posting the preview of CD/DVD contents since u may have finalized the contents!!!!

I want some small games. By small games i dont mean the 2D-Solitaire or Tetris type of games. I mean games that has a modest system requirements. For example games like Max Payne, RTC Wolfenstein, Medal of Honour etc had decent graphics and were still playable on a P3 machine. I want such type of games and preferably full version. Remember that most of the readers are still stuck with their old computers and many of the rest dont even have a graphics card. So I request Team Digit to kindly cater to the needs of this neglected section of the gaming society.

Secondly, I see that the last Fast Track on Linux had the last chapter missing -- the chapter where you promised to discuss about firewalls and IP filtering (See pg 173, last para). Apparently, this section was supposed to go into the Fast Track but was later removed. I guess you even have that chapter saved in the hard disk of some PC in the office. So I request you to include that in the magazine as an article on 'How to configure your firewall in Linux'. Please.

FlyakiteOSX v3.5

FlyakiteOSX is a transformation pack. It will transform the look of an ordinary Windows XP+ system to resemble the look of Mac OS X. The installer simply automates the process of replacing critical system files, setting registry tweaks, and installing extras such as cursors, sounds, visual styles, etc.

Exactly!!
Those who want FC5 desperately, please spend an extra Rs100 and get the May issue of Chip. Those who want Suse10, check your local newspaper stand for Feb issue of Chip (if they still have it). There is no need for Digit to waste 3GB for something which already given by someone else. Those 3GBs can be utilised for some other useful stuffs.

C'mon guys... if you love Linux so much, you can spend an extra 100 rupees for it and spare Digit.

Mister, my advice to u would be to stop bragging here and get a break. Why dont you get CHIP and use all the software that r in it, rather than spamming in the forums. CHIp is not available at my place.so DIGIT should give it.
another question, CHIP hasnt mentioned about the size of the Distro...so...???

I aint bragging about anything. Neither I m spamming nor promoting Chip. I m just telling people where to get the required distros so that they can get it and Digit can give something else instead of repeating those.

, I am with it_waaznt_me .. We have een shouting for the SuSE DVD for quite some time.. (about 12 mpnths) but still no sign of SuSE DVD. Its time you gave us the best LINUX distro Open SUSE 10.1.
Secondly, I would like a few good quality wallpapers of something never given before.. I know it sounds strange but give something cool and surprising.. Also somegood quality eBooks and some things to jazz our desktop.. Ofcourse, a good no. of full version games..

Please publish the article given below.It will help creating awareness and reducing Cyber Crimes and making India Cyber Secure.We have already given guest lectures and seminars in various colleges working for a noble cause check *www.telegraphindia.com/1060328/asp/jamshedpur/story_6023955.asp . By publishing this article it will lessen our job to go from one place to other and thus we could make India cyber Secure through your prestigious magazine.I hope you will support us in the noble cause..

Thanking You,

Vineet Kumar

The Article :

Getting Cyber Secure

Here are few simple steps on how to become cyber secure :

1. Test and apply latest service packs and hotfixes. Install the latest antivirus software on your computer and never ever turn it off; install a personal firewall and spyware checker (all are available for free on the Net).

2. Never download or open attachments whose source you are not certain about. Even if the source is trusted, see if the content is relevant. If not, don't open attachment. Create another email ID which you use exclusively for subscription to sites. That will prevent spam from coming to your main ID.

3. Check your credit card and bank statements carefully. Notify the bank immediately if there are unauthorized charges or debits, if you were charged more than you should have been, or if there are any other problems. Avoid checking mail or using credit card details online in cyber cafes. It is very unsafe. As a matter of fact, open an additional debit card with a limit if you do want to transact online . Banks such as HDFC have launched their services like Net Safe which is a very good service offered by them to transact online. This way, in the worst case scenario your damages are limited.

4. Do not give away your residence phone number or cellphone number. Be especially careful when you are filling in contest forms, coupons, free gift vouchers, etc. More often than not these are gimmicks to obtain your personal details. Don't believe it when they say the data will not be given to others .

5. Get into the habit of destroying documentation regarding credit cards, such as receipts, bills, invoices or any documents that contain personal details.

6. Never enter your personal information in a pop-up screen. When you visit a Web site, an unauthorized pop-up screen created by an identity thief could appear, with blanks for you to provide your personal information. Legitimate companies don't ask for personal information via pop-up screens. Install pop-up blocking software to avoid this type of scam.

7. Keep your computer secure for safe shopping and other online activities. Protect your computer with spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and a firewall, and keep them up to date. While purchasing online, Look for signs that online purchases are secure. At the point that you are providing your payment information, the beginning of the Web site address should change from http to shttp or https, indicating that the information is being encrypted – turned into code that can only be read by the seller. Your browser may also signal that the information is secure with a symbol, such as a broken key that becomes whole or a padlock that closes. Keep documentation of your order. When you've completed the online order process, there may be a final confirmation page and/or you might receive confirmation by email. Print that information and keep it handy in case you need it later.


8. Read about information security breaches by subscribing to some newsletters. In the case of many breaches, the only defense is knowledge. For instance, no technology could have prevented the phishing attack (wherein victims got mails seemingly from legitimate banks asking them to confirm their passwords and IDs). Be suspicious if someone contacts you unexpectedly and asks for your personal information. Identity thieves send out bogus emails about problems with consumers' accounts to lure them into providing their personal information. Legitimate companies don't operate that way. Beware of emails offering loans or credit, even if you have credit problems. Scammers take advantage of cash-strapped consumers during the holidays to offer personal loans or credit cards for a fee upfront. These scammers simply take the money and run.

9. Do not accept links or downloads from strangers even if it is tempting. There have cases where spywares like Trojans, keyloggers etc. have been hidden in simple picture files with JPG extensions. You never really know what is contained inside a file which looks attractive.


10. Use two different passwords. One for mail, work and other important access and the other for routine proposes such as subscribing to sites, etc. But remember to switch between them when you start doing transactions after mere browsing.

11. Create a difficult-to-guess password by taking the first alphabet from each word of a phrase. What is a good password? It is a password which is at least 6 characters
long, not easily guessable, contains mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters as well as numbers, and preferably contains special characters like $, * %,!,* etc. Some example password : &*Ucan't*Crack(&


12. Educate your children about the dangers of cyber crime. Children with their unbound curiosity and unmonitored access are the single most common victims of cyber crime apart from the enterprises. Ensure that the home PC is kept in a common place so that you can monitor what is going on.

Here's my demand (a bit late may be):

1. Please provide two movies (may be in a dual layer dvd) instead of providing a game cd. Those microsoft games suck. I think everyone would enjoy a old movie more than an old game. You can give T3 and MI2 or an HP movie.:p

2.Please provide all the previous issues of digit right from its inception. I hope it wont cost you much space.:)

3.Please include loads of wallpapers and other kinds of graphics.:cool:

4.May be you even give the entire forum as a special surprise.If not the entire forum then atleast the tutorial section.

Will post more if I find anything useful. Thanks in advance if you provide any of the above mentioned stuff.:D

I think u should give the magazine in Seal King polythene packs.
The current plastic package is sensitive to tear & is un-reusable once it's torn open to get the magazine contents.
The Seal King packets will enable readers to keep the magazine safe from dust & other harmful substances/conditions.
Also, it is reusable & not too expensive. U get them in the market on basis of weight but some sellers also provide them on per piece basis.

Is Maya allowed to be distributed? If yes, then please give it.

There is a rendering software called Mental Ray used for providing special effect. Whats so special about it is, it was used to make the movie The Matrix (wow!!!). Read here:

*www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/05/12/BU263514.DTL&type=business

I searched on google but could not find any downloadable versions. The only thing I could make out is that it is available both as a standalone s/w as well as a plugin for Maya, 3dMax etc. Please do a bit of research on this and try to provide it in the DVD if possible. A response will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Mental Ray is a renderer - it calculates things like lighting, textures, etc. rather than actually creating graphics and is completely useless without 3D scenes. I've used it, and unless you're a physics professor, it's a nightmare to figure out.

And no, since Maya belongs to Autodesk now, we aren't allowed to distribute it.
