    That's what I do.  I get the cheap CD's (cheapbytes, lsl, lland, 
etc.) and send a check to MandrakeSoft.  Makes a lot more sense than 
supporting MacMillan.
    I've also suggested to Mandrake ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that 
they should put a 'Donations Glady Accepted' link on their website 
with the option to charge a credit card.
