When i purchased my silver membership for one year, i calculated that i have 9.2 available right now, and before my membership expires, i can have two more versions of Mandrake. That makes it 3 versions of Mandrake for $120. Though now i am not that willing to update to 10, as i have spent some time and have downloaded a lot of packages and i will have to do things from first if i decide to install 10! Besides i am not quite sure all packages that i want, are available now for 10. But a better advantage of club membership to buying a box, is perhaps constant access to up-to-date ready-made packages through club download sites. Even if one wants to compile an application from the source, as i did recently with Gimp 2.0pre4, i could easily find all necessary libraries to compile Gimp on my machine without any error.

That's how transactions work. I bought a car two years ago. That doesn't mean Toyota owes me a new car every year when the new models come out. Even if I test drive them every year! I guess beta testing and reporting bugs means nothing. Yes, it means something and you will get something. But the Linux community does not participate in beta testing on a contract. Nobody _owes_ you anything for beta testing. (Please furnish a contract if I'm wrong.) Contributing to the community is nothing more than a concept: you contribute, and eventually the fruits of your labor are given back to the community. And that's exactly what will happen. You will reap the benefit from your work and the work of others when the ISOs go public. It may take a couple of weeks, but it will come and it will be free. I don't see the point in a 'club' anyway, I am not going to pay for something twice. If the Club were simply a distribution channel for Mandrake ISOs, then you'd be correct. But it's not so this complaint is a non-issue. I will either wait for the boxed set or move on to another distro, which is what linux is all about, freedom of choice. I hope you wait for the boxed set and remain part of the Mandrake community.

Not everyone can afford to be in the club. Walt IIRC, wait three weeks and you, too, can download the 3-ISO set. Just one of the benefits of club membership. Look at it this way, once it's spread more widely, and more hardware combos stress-test it, it'll be more bullet-proof for you. Plus you'll download from the mirrors, rather than from those who've selfishly throttled back their bittorrent upload speeds to gain more download speed (the best I'm getting now is ~10K down with ~25K up.) -- 21:33:06 up 4:56, running Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (Community) for i586, kernel 2.6.2-3mdk Registered Linux user #324360 A woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one. -- Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
