I wouldn't call these prices megabucks, certainly not in the adds business. I do suppose it's a way of getting a few bucks back from the freeloaders.....you know: Get your ad-free download version at mandrake club or buy a boxed version. Anyway no-one can stop you clearing the adds out after the install....it's GPL:o) I think it's acceptable, only that they're way too cheap. snipped from http://www.mandrakesoft.com/partners/advertising ...... Advertising: - Installation advertising (for every Mandrake Linux 9.2 version) + bookmarks (for every Mandrake Linux 9.2 version): $ 7,000 - Screen saver advertising (only for the 9.2 download version): $ 10,000 - Installation advertising + bookmarks + screen saver advertising: $ 15,000 Browser Default Page : A single message appears for two months (from October 10th to December 10th): $ 7,500 Three different messages (or a single one) appear for 6 months and change every two months (from October 10th to December 10th, December 10th to February 10th and February 10th to April 10th): $ 15,000 Installation advertising + bookmarks + screen saver advertising (download version only) + 6 months visibility on default page: $ 24,000 .......
