Is the new issue (with Mandriva 2005) on DVD out yet?

[Rhakios]

Perhaps thats one of the reasons that LM is 50p cheaper than LXF though.

So, you're saying nelz costs us 50p per issue? That's about 1/13th the price of the DVD issue. What's the circulation again? Are you getting your true worth nelz?

Thats to cover the cost of the peanuts

Now I look, it says 28,314 January to December 2004. So that should mean nelz is entitled to £14,157 - hardly a princely sum

surely thats more than enough for a couple of sacks of monkey nuts

[Rhakios]

You might have something there. You might have noticed that we seem to have had pictures of all the LXF staff in the magazine recently, except for nelz. Could it be that nelz is the LXF monkey?!!!

nice moustache rhakios it really suits you ,makes you look very distinguished i tried installing it and the partician part was a real pain
how do you wipe it off if you don't like it?

[Rhakios]

Well, they don't have a smiley with a beard, so...

Patrician? Have you been installing Romans on your computer?

[1slipperyfish]

er no i think it might be your spelling
i had a play with phlak today and it's a bit hardcore even for me
one thing i have noticed since playing with linux is my windows seems to take forever to start once it has loaded, it may be an unrelated bug also i seem to have about seven thousand svchost.exes when i open task manager which weren't there before but which is apparently normal
paul

[Rhakios]

I seem to recall that there are several viruses that go under the name svchost.exe, I hope your AV is up to date.

Did you mean partition? I was going to mention, had you asked, that before installing Linux, by far the safest thing to do is get a second hard drive and install it on that.

Just an update to my last post...

My copy of the magazine still hasn't turned up

Who do i need to contact in order to whinge/moan/cry/throw pointy sticks at?

[Rhakios]

By far the best policy is to ring the subs department 0870 837 4773 - the details are in the back of every issue.

[towy71]

and, please don't throw pointy sticks the monkeys might attack the editor with them

[Ricey]

would peanuts be a better option for the throwing?
