Downloaded, but doesn't install using vmware - and on a old laptop doesn't support the touchpad, modem and the graphics card - doesn't seem like a very good release. With Fedora Core 1 all the above worked fine except for the modem which never wored...

I am very much intereted in purchasing Mdk Powerpack... if anyone is willing to sell etc. please contact me via the forum or just post a reply here.

Since there's more community involvement in Fedora, they're going to be accepting patches.changes faster, so it should end up better.

IBM Linux Tutorials Go to the site above, there are a large number of linux tutorials which start from scratch. Start with the 101 series, and by the time u get to the 104, you will know quite a bit. These tutorials come with tests, practicals and exams, they are very comprehensive. In this first o...

Redhat has merged with the Fedora project, bascially what used to be Redhat Linux will now be called Fedora. The major reason for doing this is so there is a clear distinction between their enterprise product, and their consumer version. Redhat will continue devoloping Fedora, and incroporate change...

Open for Business reviews Mandrake 9.2, seems very impressive. We were especially impressed with the Discovery Edition's enhancements, but all of the different editions benefit from many of these improvements, as well as some that are beyond the scope of this preview.

I tried to explain to them that they don't have to hide the Linux cd's as that is free/open source software, but they just couldn't comprehend that. Flyers with a easy to un...

Microsoft Windows and Office together are available for 40 dollars in Thailand. However, the Pakistan government shows no sign or realization that they can bargain with Microsoft. So sooner or later, things are going to come to a head. Nobody here is going to buy software for a hundred dollars a po...

Sometimes it seems that the world has moved entirely to DSL, cable, and other forms of high-speed networking. But the reality is it hasn't -- most of the world is on dial-up, and even in the US the majority of Internet users are still on dial-up. Even in areas where high-speed access is available, ...

I am sure recent forum posts could be integerated somewhere in it. Also I think the news posted to the site should deal more with Pakistan. For general computer/ an...

No, it won't take that long. People have been using 2.5 and saying its stable enough for many months now. 2.6 is just 2.5 in the process of being released as stable. With the next release, which should be around 3-4 weeks, it should be stable enough. Hell, even the first test release should be good ...

2.6 seems like it's going to fix almost everything which needs to be fixed. The following should make using linux much much better than it is currently.
