Pacific HiTech CD-ROM's Linux Monthly CD-ROM (January '96 Issue)
With the hundreds of megabytes of turnover each month on the Linux mirrors,
it is hard for even the biggest of linux hackers to keep up.
We think we've found a solution by only releasing one CD-ROM, but doing it
every month. When a new version of GCC or XFree86 comes out you can be sure
it'll appear on the next disk. We don't have to waste space by trying to
cram everything on every disk--we can be more selective and listen to what
our users want in a montly update.
In fact, we're interested in distributing any popular Linux files. Having
trouble downloading that 50-meg file from the net? Interested in seeing linux
for the Alpha (January '96) or other platform? Let us know, and if there's
enough demand we'll include it on the next disc.
This Month's Highlights:
* Debian boot & root disks (they made some changes since we
carried it)
* John Fisk's Linux pages
* MuPad
* Complete Xemacs
* BLADE 0.3 (Linux for Alpha CPU)
* X-Inside's X server demo
* A python.org snapshot (both http://www.python.org/ and
ftp://ftp.python.org/)
* A large part of the tcl archives
* Linux kernels 1.2.13 and 1.3.45
* WingZ shareware spreadsheet (a repeat)
* Audio track bonus! Sunshine and the Biffs perform Wrestling
Theme. (WOW!)
Here's a look at the hierarchy of the disc:
browse Command to start up the arena browser and view the docs
kernels/ New kernel sources
most-wanted/ Last minute Additions; Items people have requested
sunsite/ New files from Sunsite
start.html Information about the disc
00readme text version of start.html
mupad/ MuPad 1.2.2
xemacs/ Xemacs 19.13
axp/ Alpha Port
debian-update/ New debian floppy images
postgres95/ Postgres95 1.0
gazette/ John Fisk's Linux Gazette
On top of that, our monthly features are growing. Now every month we
have the following items (Stay tuned, the list is sure to grow).
* Latest Kernel sources.
(1.2.13 & 1.3.45 this month)
* Red Hat Package Updates
* John Fisks Linux Pages
(coming Febuary)
* Java kit (binaries and samples)
We are not sure how to classify this product. It is more than just a "One
disk Set" because it is updated monthly will all new stuff, four monthly
disks are better than any four disk set because no two issues have the same
stuff on it. The next issue won't have an older (or the same copy) of
something on the last one.
Already Planned for the next issue:
(Updated Daily on http://www.pht.com/linux/monthly.html)
* Gnu Lisp
* Java kit (updated Java binaries will appear from now on)
PRICING (per issue):
SRP: Only $9.95 US ($5 S&H US or $9 S&H Intnl from PHT)
Subscription: Only $7.95 US (PHT Will Pay the Shipping US ONLY $5 Intnl)

BUDDING AUTHORS:

if there's room we'll publish it on the disc for other readers to see (The
