Think Zen.
Contents of the mag seem fine,
Though contents of the cd could contain more of Linux IMO.
Could you make it atleast 10% of the disk space toward Linux?
Oh and thanks for including LightZone.

Regards,
ray

Got my issue at last! The issue is beyond expectations! I mean, there was actually a magazine inside. With DVDs and all! Believe me! The Fast track was there. No, really! It had summaries of previous issues of Fast track, but then again, it was beyond expectations. Anyway, gotta go, I have to take part in the monthly family ritual of sending an email for DVD/CD replacements (Isn't it obvious they don't work!). Really, just HOW *ahem*high*ahem* can digit go?
</sarcasm :twisted: >
Magazine content has improved from the last month though.
My advice: work Harder!

To begin with, the iPod classic you reviewed in comparison is 6G and not 5.5G as mentioned.

Secondly who had the great idea to include Joomla podcast in HD and that too on the CD. Dont you guyz have the DL-DVD for that?

The dvd contents page on the mag doesn't mention all of the software that is
given on the DVD.

The clip of the jewel box is broken by one side but thanks god , The discs are atlest working
though the cd was scratched lightly and there were fair amount of fingerprints on the CD.

Be more carefull while packaging .
