Gentoo Live CD review

In your P2P section, someone request for a Gentoo Live CD review.

I would recommend you take a look at RR64 or RR4
I did not try it myself, but apparently its a full Gentoo install in 20minutes.
I am a Gentoo user myself but did not had to reinstall yet. but I definitely would like to check it out.

I think, RR4 might be suitable for TUX readers.

Well Now

Interesting that with the new issue out there is not one substantive comment about the content. With the exception on noting a less obnoxious Mango.

That's because the content is not worth talking about.

Mango

Are you OK Mango? I am worried about you. You seem to have lost your natural offensive, antangonistic style that we all love. Maybe it is the pizza that your boyfriend Otaku is feeding you instead of sushi. I don't know. Anyway, I have the perfect man for you. His name is Luis, and he works for PC Format magazine in the United Kingdom. You should read the things that he says sometimes, you two are quite alike. You can read some of his scibblings here. I am sure that you will learn to love the English weather. One little problem: he doesn't like Linux. In fact, he detests it, but I am sure that you can use the old Mango charm on him. If indeed you find true love with him, I would like to be invited to the wedding. Your children will be beautiful but very rude. I am not so sure that is a good thing.

Re: Mango

This is part of the publisher's strategy for a paid subscription rag. How can Mango continue to be her usual offensive and obnoxious self and charge the public for it?

No one wants to read and pay for the mindless rants of a self absorbed teeny bopper personality.

A somewhat 'rude' suggestion..

Maybe they can change her name to 'Mango Pre-Paid'... :x

Change the Name?

Any consideration given to changing the name of this to K-Tux? That way anyone looking for a balanced presentation of Linux options will know that this is a KDE centric publication and that discussion of Gnome is not tolerated.

I agree that the major part

I agree that the major part of software presented in this magazine are Kde one's. The reader should have the right to choose his desktop softwares.

These are great Gnome media center applications:

http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/ (music player)
http://www.fluendo.com/elisa/ (Media center)
http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/sound-juicer (cd ripper - include in Gnome by default)
http://www.jokosher.org/ (similar to apple garage band)
http://www.diva-project.org/ (video editor)

I find that gnome apps are more well integrated in the desktop, but thats my opinion !

Very good. K-TUX it is - with less readability than a TUCS cracker.
