[By Demand] June 2008 7th Anniversary Special

Demand away!

T

Why waste time demanding content for DVD? Last three DVDs that I got with DIGIT didn't work at all.

^^ buddy u should have complaint and u would have got a replacement .

cyberlink power dvd 8
latest divx player
xp sp3
spybot search and destroy :- latest
klite codec full
winrar

some great hollywood movies .........no bollywood movie

will list more

It happens b'coz the Disk jewel case is of poor quality. I always gets the disk displaced from its lock hold of the case for the mag. which I buy for my book stall.

So DIGIT Team, plz remove the case and provide simple round-type small plastic cases which can hold a single DVD, which also reduces the cost.

Please no bollywood movies.
A good fasttrack on any programming language like vb, c, java, etc
And ofcourse working DVDs(Most of ur DVDs doesn't work)

What if I receive faulty DVD even after complaining? That has been the case for me.

XP SP 3 and lots of free softwares..No movies please....

Hardy Heron

Yeah, and that too the DVD image........

Microsoft Windows XP SP-3.........

N

lots of small games, antivirus and please include this time the plastic cases which you people dont provide on Anniversay
the round cd covers are hard enough to spoil the dvd, those who are buying the digit will know the value of these plastic jewel cases. which you normally provide.

When you end up at this road, there is also a phone number given in the mag complaint section if I remember correctly, a simple phone call will fix problems most of the time.

And people, instead of complaining here about the previous contents, just as the OP says, demand away, please!!

Hey Digit People, Include the SP3 ISO in the DVD for June if you are not done with the discs yet!

And crazy as this may sound, can you strike a deal with the people who made Agni, the mallika arora game adn include it. It would be great PR for them if you can. And we would be happy to have an indian game for a change, even though it might end up toturing us.
If that is not possible, try to include its demo version.

If possible try to include Fedora 9 though this can be discounted considering that it would be released on may 13.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Refresh

G

I really want Fast Track to Photoshop
I missed the issue in 06, and I've heard it's a good way to learn Photoshop.
(If its not possible to make a Fast Track copy, please include this guide to photoshop in the cd or dvd)

I also want some software which converts my Java programming code into an executable (.exe) file.

I would like some information on Java programming, especially GUI.

Themes for Vista
SP3 for Windows XP
TuneUp Utilities 2008
Portable Apps. I would really love if you integrate it with the launcher. 1 Click and boom

Sidebar Gadgets
PDFs for Digit and Fasttrack since June-2007

Obviously....

UBUNTU 8.04 DVD!!!!

T

world of padman plzzzzzz
*www.worldofpadman.com/

and the patch also

I think you guys don't need to demand for that coz they will provide the UBUNTU 8.04 DVD anyway

T

please do not provide ubuntu 8.04 as it can be easily be delivered to your home for free! instead of that , provide lots and lots of good and free packages for ubuntu! all kinds of software! so people who dont have good internet speed can install them.. you can provide latest nvidia/ ati drivers.. gstreamer plugins , some programming tools like geany + some great free games like battle for wesnoth etc.. ( i played it and i love it .. one of my favourite games and i have played on every console + most of windows games)

*rangit.com/software/top-8-linux-games-of-2007/

REMEMBER: applications are very important.. so please DONT forget to provide PACKAGES!

personally i will shave my head if you manage to provide a complete ubuntu repo on the dvd.. i love my hair and i know you cant do that..

.. try to cover compiz fusion.. compare it with windows aero . give some easy to use guides on how to connect bsnl /airtel/ sify connection on linux.. bash every company other than BSNL/MTNL for not giving us usable broadband.. especially sify..

try to provide some other linux distros.. most probably linux mints latest version.. as it is based on ubuntu and has all the codecs etc pre installed it will be easy for indian users with no broadband to use it .. you can also provide latest versions of small distros like puppy, slax, dsl etc..

provide a FT on programming(c, c++ or whatever you want) .. you havent provided one yet..

D

Remember a few ago you gave a dvd of 500 freewares U can do that again as 1000 freewares from SourceForge.net

i dont think they give out dvds for free. also it takes a more than a month to reach you. dont try to spoil it for the rest of us man.

T

i have a lot of experience with linux distros given by digit.. and ALL and i mean ALL of my experiences are negative.. i think it will be better if they provide us packages instead of the distro..

and whats the difference with the ubuntu dvd and ubuntu cd when you have all the packages installed?

also ubuntu 8.04 is currently buggy and if you order it , and by the time it reaches you next month the bugs will be less.. i dont want the old linux experience with digit ie outdated / non working distros with no drivers/ application software to install .. if people had that kind of bandwidth to install all drivers + updates + apps then they could have downloaded the distro too..

but if you really want to provide a good and big cutting edge distro with everything installed .. provide sabayon dvd

you got me totally wrong.. ubuntu works for me and i dont need help with it currently. my point is that ubuntu hardy currently has lots and lots of bugs and it hangs after every 20 mins ! go check the ubuntu forums and you will know.it will be better to get from shipit when the bugs are fixed, or from any other source. if you cant provide your users with good linux experience please dont atleast provide bad one. and my other point is that digit has been providing linux distros all this while but this time they can provide application software for linux.. that will be good for home users who dont have a good internet connection...

and i have used sabayon and its a much much better deal for people who dont have broadband internet connection (which is most of the indian users) .. and have you even tried it? its based on binary but its very very easy to use and install .. mayb even easier then ubuntu..

imagine

1) indian guy pops sabayon dvd in drive and boots to find compiz effects by default,his mp3 and videos working, many 3d good quality games available to play, having all the apps he ever needs, etc etc .= average indian guy happy.

2) indian guy puts in ubuntu dvd.. needs to connect to get the nvidia drivers , compiz fusion effects, his computer hanging after every 30 mins , nothing having enough apps, .. indian guy throws out the disk and installs pirated xp or vista.. = indian guy happy..

both ways will make users happy ..

any why provide an OS everytime? why not provide hundreds of usable apps for it for a change?

Again, give
Call of juarez Directx 10 extension pack.

First of all the DVD's which u provide are faulty, most of them dont work. i have to apply for a new DVD every alternate month.

My choices are
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Fast Track on Monetizing Blog (most of us are blogging nw a daz so.....)

and please dont waste the space in MOVIES

All the fasttracks in PDF uptil now.

@threeonethree:it is absurb way you are thinking.hardy is not buggy.
If it hangs in some laptops pc's with AMD,you should file a bug report.you have not paid them $$$ to get free service.instead use IRC channels and forums to get support.

reg bundling software in digit,it is a flop idea giving .debs and source.I think you are very new to FOSS and Linux.
Hope you will learn with time

First of all,there is no "next-next-next" installshield like installer in distros.distros contains package management systems which effectively bundles and administer the needed packages.

UBUNTU 8.04 DVD!!!!

Also provide: PACKAGES FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE INTERNET in Ubuntu
Will someone of the digit folks visit this site and make an iso which installs apps in Ubuntu using nonetdebs:
*nonetdebs.homeip.net/

Provide packages for:
Binary Drivers
kubuntu-desktop
VLC Media Player
All Multimedia Codecs
Java and Flash
Thunderbird
WINE
Beagle
Games like Nexuiz, OpenArena, FrozenBubble, SuperTux

Also without nonnetdebs provide:
Opera
Limewire
Google Earth
Picasa

AND please do not give those sources. Very difficult to compile.
If possible provide an ISO for Ubuntu AMD64

AND MAKE THIS DIGIT AN UBUNTU SPECIAL EDITION

Visit:

But it would take from 2-10 weeks.
Better hope that Digit bundles Ubuntu.

Win Xp SP3 and Doom3, till we get doom 4

Not true about the AMD part

*ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=768200
*ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787679

Bug reports have already been posted. They will most probably be fixed in 8.04.1 point release.

And Sir you should be informed that i am not in anyway bashing ubuntu.but i just think it will be a better idea by NOT including ubuntu on this months dvd..

again do read,*linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm

I do not agree with your first point. .debs can be given on the dvd on seperate folders with all the dependencies. they can be then just be copied to (/var/apt/cache) and installed through add remove or by cd ing to the directory and using (sudo) dpkg -i *.deb . also a good tutorial from installing from sources can be given..

how is that a flop idea? do you have any statistics about it? dont people NEED applications in linux regardless of how easy or tough they are to install?..

And please dont point me to that link again or call me a newb or i will have to append my username to your sudoers file and (sudo rm -rf /) ..

------------------------------
AND lets just end this discussion here. Digit people will add ubuntu to the dvd on their own will . so lets stop and let other people suggest their ideas.. i think ubuntu has had enough coverage in this thread. lets not argue more about it. This will be my last post in this thread.

R

Trackmania Nations forever the free version.
It is really the best free game available

How about all the episodes of Sam and Max game? Pretty nice game.Also XP SP3!!!!

R

Please....
stop giving those old boring english movies & start some useful things like video tutorials of a particular topic like animation & 3d modelling.
Also, give more Free & open Source softwares instead of those 5-10 days trials.
You bet this will be very interesting & useful than movies that can't be understood by an average reader.

are you serious ? i downloaded ubuntu hardy 8.04 LTS alternate edition cd a week ago and have been using it since. it is the most stable distro i have used so far. i have used fedora 3, 6, opensuse 10.3, ubuntu 6.10,7.04 and 7.10. i had also installed mandrake linux 9 some time back. so dont say ubuntu hardy is crappy. install it yourself before making a judgment.

also digit mp3 and all that you are talking about is not free stuff so will not be included in ubuntu. if you dont believe in free software then quit using linux and jump to the crappy windows vista.

ubuntu DVD has 4 GB of apps and softwares so it should be good for most. also , do not speak for the average indian guy. you, being an indian, are giving examples of your own life experience and hastily generalizing it for the whole country.

by the way, an average indian guy uses windows to type letters in word , surf using IE and listens to mp3s using WMP. average indian guy does not use linux. linux is used by a very small group of people. and ubuntu (with its massive support from onlne communities) is one of the best way linux can be a viable option for an "average indian"

the nature of the bugs are completely random. it may have worked for youbut it is not been working for thousands of others. any ways this is not my experience and i use ubuntu as my primary distro. this is the experience of lots of people on ubuntuforums.org . i am a regular there so i was just trying to help and warn about the problem. you can check out their forums and the user testimonials and all the user posts there..

and where did this discussion about free/opensource software come into place? ofcourse it is my within my knowledge that codecs etc are propertiary software and WILL not be added to ubuntu.. when did i say that THEY SHOULD be added to ubuntu? do not try to distort the facts.. i said that for a workable home desktop system you need all those video/ mp3 codecs + APPLICATIONS . for a user with no internet connection or a dialup it is very difficult to download and install those software. even though ubuntu has made it really easy to do so. so i just wanted digit to provide all the software on their dvd so they its easy for us indian users with no broadband. i NEVER SAID it should be added to ubuntu.. and i do belive in free software and i am still sticking to my belief that digit should bundle software for ubuntu for a change..

and whats that thing about my own life experience? its the experience of every person new to linux. people NEED APPLICATIONS.. you need to understand that i am not being greedy for asking digit to remove ubuntu . heck i may have it by the time digit sends it. but its my experience about why a common indian person doesnt use linux and what are the steps to make linux more widely popular among common indian users.

you said with its online community linux can be great for indian users but the problem is that internet broadband is not widely spread in india.

i typed this up in 3 mins and i have a class in 2 mins i have to go now . but i will come back to complete the post .

or just lets think about it.. whats the point in it? lets just end this here.. as i said before.. i am sorry i coudnt keep my promise of that last post being my last but this is definately the last.(if i dont complete it)

Please....
stop giving those old boring english movies & start some useful things like video tutorials of a particular topic like animation & 3d modelling.
Also, give more Free & open Source softwares instead of those 5-10 days trials.
You bet this will be very interesting & useful than movies that can't be understood by an average reader.

right on dot friend go for some video tutorials than those boring movies

If you include a movie like DON, which you did last time, then its better you dont include a movie at all. That way you can save money. Nobody will complain if you dont include it.

What we want is something awesome. Like some High Definition movie (ripped) or something special which otherwise will be difficult for common readers to lay their hands on.

The DON dvd was waste for me.

Anniversary issue.......mmmmmm :smile:

Fast track on any programming languages...And please don't give any movies,instead give some wallpapers , softwares and ebooks..

I, Alexander the Great, command the digit team to include Americas Army v2.8.3.1 in the next issue

. (OK, then I pray to team digit to include it. :cry:

Please include it!)

R

Include Fedora Core 9 DVD Installation in this issue. Thank you.

A complete mobile shootout for all price ranges will be a good idea.....U must provide that...

i think win xp sp3 pehle bhi di ja chuki hai...

digit should give something related to mobile ...normal mobiles ...not symbian or high level phones like o2, imate etc..
a super duper game full version..
and again a dvd of a blockbuster film

I have nothing more,digit should bundle blu-ray from this year 8) also some schemes for digit readers like blu-ray drive for Rs1200 8)

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Build 5512 FINAL (316 MB download from softpedia)

Dot net framework for win 64 bit editions - if something left to include

Fedora 9

this is the seventh aniversary, right ? How about a full legal FLAC version of Iron Maiden's The Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son album ? Or atleast the song ? You can give that piece of Progressive Metal art instead of a dumb movie.

1. Its the anniversary issue, so- No more worthless Hindi potboilers please, its a Tech Magazine not a massala magazine, please keep that thing in mind.
