I too am a member of the Mandrake Club, and I think most folks that use Mandrake are willing to purchase club memberships or box sets now and then so long as they're not forced to do so. Redhat is doing everything they can to force people to pay something, which rubs most open-source users the wrong way, including me. Mandrake has exactly the right idea with MandrakeClub, but unfortunately, the current EOL policy (Mandrake's and Redhat's) is just a dealbreaker when it comes to a server OS. Jim Hubbard
