Hey thanks for the the Preview. Really quick.

Thanks for Windows 7 Preview

Maya, Open Suse 11.1, Fedora, HW drivers & those really good old movies.

I just love those antic movies :p

BTW, Whats the topic of fast Track this time.
 

Dark Core

Freak Beta 1

I was thinking abt fast track to xml or mysql to follow up php . . Lets see . . Digit seems to have stopped giving out firefox . . i'd love to get firefox with its plugins in coming editions . . And whole lot of other internet explorers . . Hope seamonkey fills the deficit . . :) . . Hope i get my copy soon . .

Though the title of the fast track is repeated I think Fast Track to linux contents is not repeated :p ( Waiting for this one............ )

Ya. I also want to know if it's PLE or 2009 Trial version.

Zeitgeist Addendum finally included? Thanks! Issue looks nice. By the way, anyone know, what is that Babylon project?

EDIT: OH MY GOD! A FULL TOTAL CONVERSION OF FREESPACE 2!!! Thanks a million!!!! Really!!
 
amazing. everything covered:
There are several of them on the net, but one on PRINTED PAPER would be helpful for several newbies on dialup/without printers - An Idiots Guide to installing Ubuntu/Mandriva/Mint/Fedora could be put up in a handful of pages to help newbies dualboot distros with windows. Also include partitioning instructions.

And give Windows 7 DVD if its not already there in February Disc. A review and tutorial and advisory would be MOST welcome.

A netbook shootout would be unique and cool. But for a change, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider minimum market price inclusive of tax and warranty and use {Performance+Features} vs COST ratio as the final indicator when it comes to giving digit gold/silver awards. EEE PC 1000H beats Acer Aspire One in battery life, screen resolution and build, but is DEFINITELY not worth the money as much as Aspire One is worth its money, just for an example.

thanks :D
