@threeonethree:it is absurb way you are thinking.hardy is not buggy.

It is you sir, not me , who is ill informed.
*ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=103

check the user testimonials about hardy.

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.

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..

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.

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.

Trackmania Nations forever the free version.

[ComputerUser]

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

 

[rishitells]

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.

PROVIDE SOFTWAREZ WITH CRACK AND KEYGEN...... LOLZ

nice request man, fat guy may ban you. be careful.

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?

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"

comments welcome

Yeah I totally agree. I buy another PC Mag which gives the DVD in round case and every month the DVD comes scratched. The lock of the cases provided by digit may not work but at least they don't scratch the DVD's.

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)

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

 

[ashwinsid]

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

 

[New]

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

 

[alexanderthegreat]

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. Please include it!)

 

[rabspd]

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

 

[uppalpankaj]

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

 

[hero_techno]

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

 

[praka123]

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)

 

[MetalheadGautham]

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. Please include it!)
