Agreed wholeheartedly....it even stops off the ever returning discussion about whether the freeloaders should be able to download before the commercial packs are out or not. This way a free downloader is a beta tester for the "stable branch" until it hits the shops. Good thinking, good move IMO! It'll even ease the pressure a little on the mirrors when a new version is out. Not substantially though, methinks;) Good luck, HarM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
