Could someone nominate a flavour of Linux for our February issue? I want to put one on, just have no idea what people want.

More folks keen on this at all?
Any other requests? Mint 10 is out (in case you'd prefer that) and 32 & 64 bit will take up about 1.4GB. I can swing a second distro perhaps?

Nice! I didn't know it was out yet.

I don't have any suggestions for a second distro, but if anything springs to mind, I'll post it here.

Since nobody else has any suggestions, why not Ubuntu/Kubuntu? It's quite popular and there's a new version out.

But Mint 10 is the one I'd prefer. Thanks :)

that is... horrible... julia takes almost double the time to boot/shutdown as vanilla ubuntu, couldn't find my keyboard without prompting... what have they done?. :lol:

ubuntu 10.10 MM... not LTS, but still kicking windows 7's behind in the speed/resource stakes...

COD 4 mods are possible, MW2 is totally impossible AFAIK. The game doesn't support it (unless you're playing on a modded/hacked server), though there was some talk of a mod tools package a while back. If it happens, I'll snag them for the disc.

We will be trying to get the Crysis 2 demo on the April cover disc.
