Okay, if you charge for MandrakeSecurity, does that then mean that if I'm
going to set up an Internet connection sharing / NAT box / firewall for a
client w/ a headless PC, I'll have to charge them for not only the hardware
and labor, but for the software as well? Will this be sold as a single-user
license, or what? Why not do like y'all have been doing w/ Mandrake, like
distributing both a downloadable and retail version and offering online
updates for both, but differentiate between the two by offering phone or
e-mail tech support plans for the retail version while leaving those who
downloaded the free version to fend for themselves on newsgroups and mailing
lists, such as this fine one. I'll admit, I subscribe to quite a few mailing
lists for various OS platforms, but I hardly actively participate in any of
the discussons like I do here. This is a great product, backed by a great
mailing list. Keep up the good work, guys.
