Hi,
For what its worth adding to this discussion, we all have
lot of different opinions about LFY and everything else. JFYI, LFY now has a new editorial team or so I am told. Atanu and Swapnil are few these new dudes who have been working hard to change the earlier image of the magazine. Disclaimer : I don't get free LFYs for this plug or any kind of benefits. Just that, I can see a lot of bad blood and opinion and which is resulting in not giving these new team a chance to show what they want to do. I have met Atanu at Freed and have had a few phone chats with Swapnil in recent times, they really seemed be honest about what they are trying to do. It would help if we try to give them some space and time and then comment on their work after fairly evalutating them.
Cheers!

True, but the original topic of the thread was only related to bad media quality not magazine content. This is a fact and has been recurring every month.
I have a suggestion for LFY. Since they have an office in Mumbai, they can play an important role in providing linux CDs and DVDs downloaded directly and recorded on original MoserBaer media with Red/Black print ( not the all silver ones ) and charge a reasonable amount for it. If they can get Cultural Book Depot or Premier in Lamington road to market these media, that would make it convenient for everyone. They are already selling magazines there.
