[newbie] 9.2 ads?
Not sure if this is something that has already been discussed, or if it's an appropriate topic on the newbie list, if not, please disregard. Anyhow, I heard 9.2 comes with ads. Any merrit to this? If so, what impact does this have on our use of Linux and esp. it being much more secure than Windows. I for one don't want adware on my Linux box (once it gets set up).

Re: [newbie] 9.2 ads?
What they've been saying on the Club site is that it is _one_ ad, and it only shows up during the installation procedure, never to be seen again. I, for one, am willing to suffer through this g, if it helps Mandrake keep it's head about water. BTW, pls get rid of your reply to field.
