I don't understand some peoples negative attitude towards advertizements.
A couple of month ago my company (a small OSS startup) has decided to
become a mdk partner for various reasons. At some point (depending on how
much money we will once invest into this partnership [which we haven't
done yet ...]) I think one can eventually expect some kind of pay-back.
Yes I know, there are lot's of really _great_ voluntary contributors to
mandrake that may dislike ad's as screensavers but who will eventually be
hurt by this?
I bet that all users at "a bit better than newbie"-level will be able to
install the regular screensavers as well. And in the end: screensavers
start up when there is no activity on the system - so why should I care
that much what is happening on my screen when I'm not using it?
happy hacking
