People who are complaining about Mandrake trying to charge should be ashamed. If you''re actually demanding an entire operating system be provided for you for free, then you are one spoiled bastard. I suppose you wouldn''t mind if your boss just decided one day you no longer needed a paycheck? You don''t work for free, why should Mandrake?

If you don''t want to pay for Mandrake''s services, then head to www.gnu.org and www.kernel.org, the sources for all gnu programs and the linux kernel are freely available there, knock yourself out with your own linux distro.

And people actually sit around and wonder why Mandrake''s seeing so many financial problems and most likely won''t be around much longer. Get a clue.
