IMHO,
Its a matter of different realities i guess. You guys might have access to the
"lastest" bug free <relatively> version but i for one don't. i
just can't get on the net download anything i want. Its too expensive.
i just get on the net download my mail and switch off and in between i browse
some cool programming links posted by Shridhar <thanks>. in todays date on my
hdd i have nothing more than the stuff pcq dishes out.
so its a matter of who wants what; you guys are professionals so your
expectations out of this whole thing are bound to be different.
me and people like me, well i think we'll be happy with just a good IDE that
works! <doesn't matter if its "old"> and a copy of "parted" <I am trying to
download it, for eons now>

Somebody on the list said that maybe you could have a central archive and cd
on demand kind of thing.
i am not sure but i still think there is a niche for such a cd and people out
there like me want stuff not just lastest bleeding edge stuff.
maybe india should have a linux specific magazine. ;-) but then i should
probably go and look in the archives. We have already been there, discussed
that.
regards to all,
