Unlike Windows or MacOS, with Linux software there's usually no such thing as registration and there certainly isn't any with Mandrake Linux. In fact, Linux is based on a _completely different_ philosophy from other operating systems, as you'll see here: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.es.html One of the best things about Open Source / Free Software is that, even when the software costs money, you just pay it. There are no registration codes, serial numbers or other things to lose :) Should you decide that you want to reward MandrakeSoft for their efforts there are at least two things you can do: i. buy a boxed set from http://new.mandrakestore.com/ ii. join the Mandrake Club http://www.mandrakeclub.com/ Alastair
