is probably less buggy.
7.10 ? 7.10 ? did you want to use 7.04 for one of these ?
I think going with 7.04 for Linux newbies would be a mistake - 7.10 is
tested enough (I'm running it for about 3 months now, and I believe it
will be very stable when released) and it offers a lot of new user
visible changes and improvements in usability (and eye candy). If you
position Linux as a contender in the desktop computing arena, you have
to take into account the competition and while 7.10 is definitely up to
par with operating system offerings from other vendors (and I'm not
talking about other Linux vendors), 7.04 is not - unless you only
compare it to 5 years old operating systems, which is a mistake I hope
you are not going to make.
If you say so, I'll take your word for it. However it doesn't solve our
initial problem. This is about getting cds, i care lest for
distro/version wars. Since we all agree that 6 is obsolete
Most of our club members are busy people. If you were in August Penguin
2007, you might have heard the theory there about "someone needs to".
Most of the JLC members are busy people with no time. I have no way of
doing that (nether do I have time for it).
Ok, I figured this would be coming my way when I wrote my previous
e-mail :-)
I have access to a lightscribe writer and while I'm also very busy, I
think I can find the time to burn some CDs. If other people can help
fund the supplies (and I'm willing to pitch in here as well), I can do
the work. I'm not sure what it takes to do a commercial CD burn and how
it compares in prices and work involved, but I'll check.
Great! this could help us, the question is: how much? and by when?
We were targeting for ordering 200. But if you can do half of that. It
would be wonderful! If you can supply me with the details, I'll see how
I can get you blanks, I think I have a way.
BTW, I am going north now, on a trip. So I won't answer until Friday.
