We can do it the Debian way. ( french Debian way, don't know about the others countrys ) Just write articles in magazine and say " for the user of Mandrake, a simple urpmi software_used_in_the_article would do the trick. The others, you can recompile from tar.gz. " Very effective, everybody who read Linux Magazine France know that apt-get is so cool .... Another thing to do is that we should stop to say that rpm can be find on rpmfind.net. Almost each time people go on rpmfind, they download a rpm for another distro, and, when it don't work, they say that rpm is bad. What about a Mandrake-advocacy-howto ? -- Micha�l Scherer
