I have the same issue … the mag takes a bit longer to be available to buy in Australia. Disappointing. Are replacement DVDs being provided?
If so, how?
If not, why not?

I just bought your mag., issue #82 ( CDN $19.75+tax ) and was looking forward to trying these distros and software on this dvd. I was very disappointed that none of the distro worked. This is the first time I,ve bought a mag. that had this problem and may never buy tihs mag. again.

Never mind about the link to the iso. I think my laziness is getting worse – typing the word “slax” into google really took it out of me…

It’s getting late – forgive my slow thinking )

Shame about the DVD – I was looking forward to trying Slax. Any chance you could put a link to the iso images on the web site? Also will you be sending replacement discs out – if so, how do we get in touch about where to send it?…

Hi guys,
I’ve just started helping out with the magazine and have also noticed the problem with the disc on issue 82 of Linux User & Developer.

We’re really sorry for the technical problem – we’re looking into the issue and investigating quite what went wrong. We’ve already spoken to many of you personally to rectify the situation, but would ultimately like to let you know that we really appreciate your feedback and are hard at work to get to the bottom of it so it can’t happen again.

Looking forward to hearing more from all of you on Linuxuser.co.uk in the future.

Kind Regards

Russell Barnes

As the other comments re the DVD with issue 82, I to have found the disc faulty and would like to know how to have the disc replaced or a refund of the magazine purchase price. I await the reply with interest.

Just tried the other two ‘iso’s’ on the disc, and they don’t work either!

This is the first time I have bought a different Linux mag. The magazine seems pretty good, let down by it’s DVD. I really fancied trying ‘Sabayon 5′ only to be told by K3b that it is an invalid file size (137mb), so that put an end to that.
