http://forums.pcquest.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4283 Have a look at this thread. The person daj123 they are mentioning is me. This is the state of affairs with PCQuest. I had warned them of vulnerabilites in their bulletin board much before it got cracked and defaced, warned them about their registration form. I had mentioned about the bad CSS / HTML they were using on their main website. It rendered pretty bad in Mozilla / Mozilla Firefox on Windows as well as Linux ( which seems to have been fixed now ) Search for daj123's posts and cross reference them with a member called Yamraj. You'll probably understand why I left the place for good. Reasoning with PCQ administration & moderators is like reasoning with a brick wall. No use. > In the PCQLinux release notes (or somewhere during the install process) > I noticed a Dinesh Joshi in the credits - I am guessing it is you. Yes, it is me. I was one of the beta testers on PCQLinux 2005. I don't know what exactly did I do to deserve being put into the credits of PCQLinux 2006. After a few weeks of leaving the forum I received a call from a friend who works at PCQ. I happened to mention to him about the bugs in FC4 and explained to him that it was a bad choice. Dunno why they still stuck on with FC4 when they had Mandrake, Ubuntu and other wonderful distros to work with. I have started to believe that Mr.Unny takes joy in discrediting the FOSS community and thats why even after the popular opinion that they should go with a distro like Debian / Debian derivatives did they decide to go with FC4. I am very hurt by the PCQuest's attitude. I thought Krishna Kumar was a reasonable man who would listen to logical reasoning. May be I was wrong. -- Regards, Dinesh A.
