618376 2007-12-06 05:01:00 Sometimes I get APC (from Australia) magazine sometimes I dont.


This months (December 2007) magazine has they say on the cover DVD is Ubuntu 7.10 and not only that but also SuSE 10.3 but wait for it, all you get from their DVD is a link to the web site you download it yourself,

So why dont they put on Redhat, Mandrake Debian etc etc and while they are at it the latest version open Office ??? ooh how about a link to google you could find lots of thing to download that should full up their DVD (I think, oh maybe not),

I will not be getting it next month.
hang on a minute I dont have to buy next month magazine we have Debian here http://www.debian.org/

618377 2007-12-06 05:05:00 That is likely to be an accident; normally they are on the DVD as ISO images. Erayd (23)
618378 2007-12-06 05:24:00 Well the latest ver of OO just came out (2.3.1), so would have been a bit late for that.

Yup you probably looked in the wrong place for the ISO/s.

Or if youre sure theyre not on it, take it back. I would.

618379 2007-12-06 22:08:00 Yes I find it quite a good mag

Some of their technical articles have quite good depth.

618380 2007-12-07 17:30:00 OK everyone I have just awarded myself the "pressF1 big dick" award,
and the joke is on me.
I will not say anymore I am trying to tone down my red face.
I must try harder not to bad mouth any more goods & services here, next time it might be more than a red face I have.

Have a happy day

You beat me to it, I was going to be buying APC (as it is a regular read) today. I figured they wouldn't make a major screw-up like that

618382 2007-12-09 05:16:00 I found out afterwards APC DVD is a self booting but does not have Ubuntu on the list.
I dont like the way SuSE says "have fun" it sounds with SuSE it is just like one stupid game.

618383 2007-12-09 05:30:00 Haven't bought this months mag yet but every distro they have said is on the disk has been for years too date - so I'm guessing you just don't know what you're talking about. Twelvevolts (5457)

618385 2007-12-10 09:36:00 Ha HA HA...I've come to this thread a little late, (isn't this new clock thingy good, ) nrrrta's joke was a good one. Don't sweat it, every one of us has made a dick of him/her self here at one time or another. Merry Xmas. limepile (96)
