I am new to the current Mandrake and I have some questions about it. I am not willing to join their club as an individual but definitely would contribute to having a trilug account. 1. This club mantra is very annoying. In order to access the main forums you have to be a member. So far I have been going to mandrakeusers.org for answers. Is there a better repository for getting answers? 2. The urpmi seems to be tied into the club mantra. Are there sources to go to without club status. I have found PLF sources but want to be certain I have found all the sources I need. 3. Will cooker sources corrupt my urpmi for 9.2? I wanted tuxpaint for my kids RH9 via apt-get or yum could not handle this. But a cooker source gave it up to install and run.
4. Why does maelstrom under windows try to access the firewall? I feel a little lost and listless with Red Hats change. I like the look of Mandrake but the pressure for the club may be too much. I am not ready for a monthly fee for linux. I do not feel ready for the challenge of Gentoo or Debian against my hardware.
