A local Linux shop has been pressing circa 500 a month Mandrake download CDs 
(they sell mostly Mandrake, closely followed by Debian, and very little else) 
and didn't know that they could donate. They're now sending $AUD1 per CD for 
each one they press, which they would have been doing for years if they'd 
known they could. $AUD500 a month won't save Mandrake by itself, but if a few 
score shops around the world do that, it will make a huge difference.
