Well, I've done the donation thing. One idea I've had: is Mandrake going
to be present at the Linux Expo in Birmingham, UK in September? If not,
then I'll be there anyway, as part of a non-profit, Linux-in-education
group with two demonstration machines running Mandrake, and I could
possibly sell boxed sets to anyone who asked where they could get a copy
of this distribution that's so much better than anything else in the Expo!
