You can use it. No problem. If you register they will have a concrete 
informantion as how many users they have. Which will help them marketing.

Anyway they do not accept contributions from India. Last time I responded to 
their call for $5 and complained that I have no means of sending it from 
India, MD of mandrake, some Guaval, forgot the exact name, responded with 
thank you. :-)

Correct but it does not have KDE3.1. So I am dumping it today and going back 
to mandrake. Only if my slackware CD hadn't gone bad.. 

I decided to dump mandrake because urpmi corrupted my database. I think if I 
stick to release version and do not try to update bit too often, it won't 
happen..Not that the behaviour is acceptable but still..
