The Digit OS · DIGIT-ARC

Just thought to make a thread on Digit OS for all discussions,how to's etc. !
Post your screen shot too

I just installed it and just Awesome ! You too must give it a try ! :-D

Almost same as ubuntu, just some minor tweaks..

@Tejas.Gupta I was also thinking of making this thread, but found you have created.
Currently reading FT, not installed Digit OS yet. But I'm sure they must have made some nice enhancements over UBUNTU !

Digit came out with an OS ?

Digit OS is the customized version of UBUNTU 11.04! It is provided in the Digit DVD with this month's issue! Haven't you seen it? A separate Fast Track to Ubuntu is also given there. You will find more information about Digit OS in that Fast Track (FT).

Nothing new, Fedora was once customised by PC Quest and was including with their mag for readers........ that was long time back.

So, technically, DIGIT is late in giving any such thing!! :sad:

Not bad. Someone should post some screenies.

@Tech&ME

I didn't buy a single issue of Think digit Magazine yet

I once subscribed to PC Quest magazine for a year and thats it...Never cared to buy another computer magazine after that.

11.4 is really awesome !
I love the gfx effects and all

*sigh*

I had the same expressions!

whould have rather done an OOTB Arch + KDE distro. This doesn't bring much to the table.

"Digit OS"!! At first I was :shock:

But, realized, I havn't given time to open the anniversary edition yet! Because of the exams. From tomorrow, I will finally be able to Unlock the Treasure!
Will post screeny too, if I install digit OS!

i made a live CD of the Digit OS, but it doesnt boot

gets stuck on the Ubuntu's Loading Screen

"Ubuntu being stuck on Loading Screen" happens with me too, although I havn't tried digit OS yet.
Whenever I tried to run Ubuntu 11.04 in Live CD mode, it just gets stuck for unreasonable amount of time, and I just had to force the system off.
Guess it's some, compatibility problem.

@Aspire: What config is yours? Cause mine was, Pen 4, 2.4 GHz, 1 GB DDR Ram.

MIght be because of insufficient memory
Live mode requires huge amount of memory to run smoothly

Installed on this system:

P4 3.0 Ghz + Intel mobo

Anyone else also facing this problem or similar hang problem ?

Please suggest remedy

The problem was there with Google Chrome browser.

I had to update Ubuntu and switched to FireFox 5 and now its all ok. ;-)

Although I HATE FireFox because of its image loading style.... (snail! :grin:

)

Oh! Yes, if some can help me with this: I would like to configure HOTMAIL, can someone tell me how to do it in the defaulf mail client - Evolution.

Or some tips & tricks to get it done.
