Torrent? | | geek_madazu | March 11, 2008, 1:18 am | #3 | | Errr what cgi? tell me moar :p | | geek_woogmo | March 11, 2008, 6:19 am | #4 | | I've got a used elive thong you could probably have. http://www.cafepress.com/elive.205857496 | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 11, 2008, 11:48 pm | #5 | | Elive linux you have to buy it by donating or a range of promotional advertising it look really like a nice distro. http://www.elivecd.org/ | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 11, 2008, 11:50 pm | #6 | | For some reason its not very well known but the development version ( states unusable as alot of features dont work ) have had 60k downloads from softpedia alone. seems like alot of people are interested but arent willing to pay first. if i get some credits ill give you some madazu. | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 12, 2008, 12:15 am | #7 | | Ok im all over the development version ill let you know how it is. development looks totally usable and its debian testing so it shouldnt be too bad. | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 12, 2008, 12:37 am | #8 | | Wooohooo french server goes fast 500kbytes constant | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 12, 2008, 10:07 pm | #9 | | Although elive looks awesome please dont bother with the development version its a waste of bandwidth unless your a developer, because, as the site states, its not very usable at all. missing icons, configuration is impressive but broken, 700mb of good looking distro but not really working. if anyone gets elive stable, please let me copy it ( totally legal under the license agreement ) or can i please have a token credit thingy to get a copy from elivecd.org? | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 13, 2008, 3:38 pm | #10 | | Found a torrent and have a few seeders uploading for me but they said they wont be there too long, if anyone else wants to boost the distribution of the iso here it is..... http://www.tuxdistro.com/torrents-details.php?id=387&hit=1 | | geek_dino7 | March 13, 2008, 5:12 pm | #11 | | Linux is not free anyway? all that configuring and driver searching and they want you to pay?;) | | geek_seriouslycgi | March 13, 2008, 9:09 pm | #12 | | This one s free too thats why i can get it from torrents but the donation is to pay for the faster bandwidth download and also because this guy maintains this distro full time ( it seems like a really good distro too ). all linux is free, you pay for support and proprietary software ( non free ) but all linux is free to distribute and copy. as for drivers, well we could argue all night, but the bottom line is that the linux supported hardware list puts window's to shame. alot of games are not designed for linux and not all hardware vendors are allowed to release linux drivers due to pressure from microsoft, but we all use it everyday (google, yahoo, nzpost etc) it works for me and it smashes any windows version ive used ( havent used vista yet but i dont think it would convert me ) im not bagging windows you can use it and be proud but i think linux is better in nearly every way. | | geek_dino7 | March 13, 2008, 9:44 pm | #13 | | Cough cough 56k modems.......... glad i'm on bb now if i play with linux. | | Leave your comment: | |
