Well in case you haven't noticed there are two good distros this month.
VortexBox - Fedora-based Linux distribution that turns an unused computer into an easy-to-use music server or jukebox.
and
Joli OS - Ubuntu-based Linux distribution for netbooks.

@echoplxx You started the preview thread on 25th March, but the magazine is not available here @local newsstands (Delhi). Issue running late this time ?

Guys feedback to advert of digit anniversary on pg-57.

Pls dont price annivesary issue @250
If you do give us 4 dvds atleast.
Give us atleast one blockbuster game(call of duty or any other big game)

I want y'all to give Call of Duty:Modern Warfare.

@echoplxx still waiting for an answer. No Digit in North Delhi ? Lots of fake news regarding digit magazine availability

I tried today, and its still not available (3 newstands).

If I order online, how many days would it take to reach at my place now? I was a subscriber earlier, do I need to quote that number too ?

Thanks again.

If you order online it'll be delivered within 3-5 working days and yes you need to quote your subscriber number

Lol thats the reason I didn't renewed even if I rec'd a promo code today :shock:

. I am fedup of the ups/down to visit the newsstand again and again. I already bought chip/GG/LFY/Stuff on 2nd of this month and still waiting to get digit. For the digit people out there : I am skipping this month's issue.

Thanks for the awesome contents but your services are pathetic.

Subscribed yesterday. Missed this month issue though.

I think there is a problem with the newsstand nowadays. They all say, digit doesn't give them the replacement or return method. So they are not ordering any copies. Tht was the reason its not available in my area anymore. I hope I will receive the digit copies in time now.

I wrote to the editor in reply to the "Digit is hiring" and got a reply from Nash David, but nothing after that in-spite of writing back, there hasn't been any mention in the May issue of the magazine. If anyone here could please clarify about the same.
