Hum .... Am i alone ? 1 - I Have already buyed boxes (8.0 and 8.1) 2 - I made some people switching from RH to Mandrake 3 - I tried to improve Mdk by providing bug reports and doing some translations/corrections in French. I try to do it better and better as my knowledge increases, see my last comments about rc2 (and the snapshots i made for OpenOffice.org). 4 - As i'm part of a lug (http://www.parinux.org) i'm installing linux to show its performances every time i can. Next planned install party is 18th of october. What would i answer when i will be asked for 9.2 ? Furthermore : i want to install a machine here with 9.2, how can i do it without the CDs ? I think i'm doing my job better by reporting mails than begin a mandrake club member (since i don't have a fast connection, and Mdk don't provide CDs of club applications, i have no use of it !), so i paid my part. For the less, this is what was said to me last year at linux expo in Paris. May be i'm wrong, but in that case i would like to know FAR BY ADVANCE what Mdk will do from the community work : 1 - in 9.1, you provided the iso one week after the club (i can afford that) but WITHOUT warning us before; 2 - in 9.2, you want to provide isos one month after but WITHOUT warning us before; Last time, is there a chance one could have an iso without paying ? Let me know, i hate doubt ... Stef --
