GolfProRM Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Argh... Not going to touch something that I can't try out without buying... Definitely not going to pay $70 for a new distro when I can't install it to know if I'll even be able to get it to work! Seems like it's a good distro, but especially when it comes to Linux, I don't feel like I should have to pay for something without trying it out... I'll support a company I believe in, but I've got to know they make something to believe in first! :DJust my 2 cents... and NO! You can't have them!

havnblast Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Yea I hear that - I wish they had a trial or something at least. I see cheapbytes has 2.0 so I am gonna wait and see if they get the 2.8 version and order it if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quint Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 If you want to tryout LibraNet 2.0 for free:LibraNet 2.0Have fun, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 After reading the article that havnblast posted (as well as a few othere dealing with Libranet), it seems that there's quite a bit of difference between 2.0 and 2.8.... I don't like testing older versions to see if I should buy the newer version (especially when we're talking about versions that are 2 years apart)... I understand the need to sell software, but give us a chance to see the current version first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 This looks like the new distro to try. Has anyone messed with it? Great Article on it. I always wanted to do Debian but have always had problems now maybe my prayers are answered.Linux Journal Hi HavnblastYou say you always wanted to try Debian, why don´t you just install Knoppix on HD ? Gives you a fullblown Debian the easy way !And about these prices for Distro´s: I don´t mind paying, but it should be available for free download too. It´s a bit like Yoper, a very prommissing distro made by a few New Zealanders, the beta versions were free for download, many people got the Yoper-feever. But for the final version they are charging $99 and the beta versions were pulled back from the mirrors . . . . many people got annoyed by their tactics. And with so many alternatives free available on the ¨market¨ people will quickly look the other way. Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havnblast Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 hmmmmm interesting, I've got Debian here also, but the thing never wants to install for me. I can't remember what the problem was last time I tried it. I will look into that Bruno - thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
