Why is it when I go to my local Fry's I see rows of Red Hat boxes some BSD boxes and Slackware CD's but never see Mandrake boxes. I would gladly purchase Mandrake instead of downloading it if it was in the stores. Seems to me that Mandrake needs to get there product out on the shelves. I can purchase Red Hat all over the place here in Silicon Valley but Mandrake is hard to find. Why is that? Before Mandrake starts in with the adware they need to make sure there product is out on the shelves next to Red Hat.
If you want to sell your product ya gota make it available to the public. Not everyone can download the iso's and make the cd's. There are still peole using modems! I belong to the club and I do download the iso's but at 144K it does take a long time. I would prefere to just purchase the boxed set when I drop by my local computer store. If it aint there I cant buy it. Im not going to search hi and low for it. Geez RH is all over out here. On Star Date Monday 15 September 2003 02:37 pm, T.
