A complete system buyer's guide... for all three budget sizes. With atleast 2 options for every category. It would be a great way to fill up the pages in the Anniversary Issue!

Obviously,pack Ubuntu DVD (Hardy).may be u can also add some Linux contents?
@threeonethree:what is this man?let others enjoy Ubuntu :| if it doesnot work for you currently means others too are not the same case.
Bundle Ubuntu.
and,why to order from shipit?to waste cd's?to make CD Maala?
Appreciate their(cannonical) willingness to ship it for you.dont waste it!also order only if you have no other option to get Ubuntu cd.

and If u have some problem with Ubuntu,go to Linux forums ,come to OSS section here.Also may be u should read below link to make sure you may not want linux :rolleyes:
*linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm

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?

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

@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.

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

Hey here is the aks
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..

plz tell me also from where can i get ubuntu 8.04 DVD free....
send me one fast

Obviously....

UBUNTU 8.04 DVD!!!!
+1

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

plz tell me also from where can i get ubuntu 8.04 DVD free....
send me one fast
:x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
Visit:
*shipit.ubuntu.com/

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