Your ideas reminds me of the Mandriva Club system, where users can come together and show their commitment and involvement in Madriva (previously Mandrake Linux). The site is supposed to be <URL:http://club.mandriva.com/>, but I'm unable to get any response from it. The google cache gave me this intro:
Welcome to Mandriva Club ! Mandriva Club is a place where members can download the latest Mandriva Linux distributions including commercial applications and plugins, ATI and Nvidia drivers, Club specific distributions, can gain access to a collaborative knowledge base related to Mandriva Linux use, can gain access to commercial RPMs, can get special discount on Mandriva Store, can chat with Mandriva team, and much more... Join the Mandriva Club, download now and take the most of your Mandriva Linux system! Enterprise, corporate or public sector users: please visit the Mandriva Corporate Club to gain access to Mandriva's industry leading, 5 year supported enterprise solutions such as: Mandriva Corporate Server 3, Mandriva Corporate Desktop, Mandriva HPC Cluster, and Mandriva Multi Network Firewall 2. I suspect a similar system for Debian might increase visibility and commitment from a large set of users. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
