Yes, read the announcement. > I don't mind them paying for it, but I'd like to try it out first... > See basically, I don't need wizards and GUI stuff for the most part..

So you don't need the Corporate Server. Buy the ProSuite. The Corporate Server is a package consisting of the software, the support and the access to updates and the much longer support lifetime. > Just to support mandrake, I would make the boss buy at least one copy, but > I'd have to try it before we outlayed the cash.. if it isn't want I > want, then no deal... anyone in my position would feel the same way. It's based on the current version of Mandrake Linux.

It's on the website http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/corporate-server > Is CS2.1 the first mandrake to NOT be free software??? I ask because there > is no download version... You don't understand. Mandrake Linux GPL version is the base system. It's free and downloadable. All other products also consist of a mixture of Free Software and commercial apps (PowerPack, ProSuite, Corporate Server). If you define Free Software by the question whether you can download it or not you should have a look at the GPL and some more documents about Free Software and the GPL. According to your definition the PowerPack and ProSuite are also "not free" because you cannot download them. wobo -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
