PPC or x86) when they sign up or change their preferences. This might give us a clearer indication of who things PPC is a priority, and how many Club members are there for PPC "stuff".

But I do have some mucking around to try to do "everything". I need to put 8.2 in another partition on my G3 to do the Club stuff (since I can't do this on the regular 8.2 "updates" partition), and my G4 will soon be used for cooker work (dual-booted because I like iMovie and iDVD too much!). But this will give Stew the opportunity he needs to get his hands dirty with a G4 and since these are the next generation imacs, we really want to get them humming with Mandrake. Unfortunately I don't have a tibook to donate to the "cause"... =( > I guess what we need now is a bit more publicity about the Mandrake > club ppc advantages, maybe on some of the linux ppc lists/forums? > the mandrake page? it might have been there already I haven't checked. > It should be totally obvious to somebody installing linux on ppc > that the mandrake club is the way to go.. Which I think a "preferred arch" portion of the Club userinfo would help do, at least in terms of who on Club is using/wants PPC. There is definately an effort to get more PPC exposure on Forum and Club, the rest needs to catchup yet. Of course, we still have to demonstrate to MandrakeSoft our interest, in order for them to really decide to drive PPC hard. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
