I am not sure what you are saying by "Meanwhile, do your repayment by spreading the word about Mandrake and by offering any of your experiences that may help others."
Anyway, I have choosen MDK by my needs: - to be easy to use and maintain - to start learning Linux - to fit on my view on OS in general - to be accessible (financially) - to be downloadable and to have a large support I would like to have the possibility to recompile it on my computer. I would like to develop - at the base I am a developer and this is what I like to do most - everything I want. I am not interested to use a server, but to test a db on it... something desktop sized. On other hand I made a choce and I want to relay on it for a long time (long live MDK)!!! The problem is the payment: it is not easy to do from here technically speaking. MDK is well known in Romania in Linux world, but Windows came first at the majority of users and they won't move easily. More than 90% of them use pirated software, so they don't care about buying prices. So, to spread on the Romanian market something for a person that have to learn more to use it is an almost impossible task! For the moment I would like to help translate Linux - this might be a possible way to get in - a lot of Romanians moved to a more inteligible interfacewhich is the one in their mother language. But I didn't do this on Linux and I need some guidance. There are a lot of funny translations that must be changed. Do you have any hint? BTW, I can't download from ftp because of my provider, so I have always to look for a http mirror...
