I have been using Mandrake for the past three years and have watched thier distro evolve.I my opinion they make a top notch distro, with the latest software available. I have been impressed with the rate that they relese new disros. Not to mention the "freq" distros that come in between the "supported" distros. Mandrake makes it easy to keep an up to date system with thier update tool and have never charged for it like Red Hat. I do not have a problem giving them money to help devolope thier software, as the programers have to get paid somehow. Mandrake also pays programers that work on stuff that benifits all linux users, like KDE.I hate to say it but the days of free are slowly going away. Even slashdot has a subcription service to support this great site. I say put your money where your mouth is and support Linux even if it is not Mandrake.
Now the MPAA can sue the hardware manufactures for violation of the DMCA, as the blinking leds are freely broadcasting all those pirated movies for all to recieve. LOL
How can you tell if a mp3 is legal or not? The anser is that you can not. I for example download a lot of mp3's with the napster, but I own cd that I purchased with the content on it. I find that with my high speed conection it is faster to download the mp3's from the napster than to encode them from my own collection. I also have legally downloaded mp3's from mp3.com shared through the napster.
I am glad that someone took the time to post this info. I find little "kernels" of knowledge of this type very helpful, as most would not bother sharing this trivial piece of info.

Just one example of freedom of speech being eroded be corpertions with overpaid lawers.
