The Download edition (isos) of version 10 (Official) of the Mandrakesoft Distro have been around for a few weeks already via bit torrent, i do not see any reason why it cannot be redistributed, as per GPL. If you want to support Mandrakesoft for the good products they release, there is always: 1. Buy an official boxed set (if you need the dead-tree manuals) 2. Contribute to Mandrakesoft directly by joining their MandrakeClub. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
