Welcome to the Mandrake Linux Community Newsletter -- dedicated to
keeping you up-to-date with the latest Mandrake-related news & info.
***********************************************************************
Mandrake Clubhouse is now open!
MandrakeSoft is proud to announce the grand opening of the Mandrake
Linux Users Club clubhouse -- a custom website where club members can
learn about club-related activities, take part in discussions, and enjoy
special privileges.
We are happy to offer our members the ability to download applications
which are normally only available as part of the Mandrake Linux Power
Pack. New applications are being added every day; by the end of the
year most commercial applications from the 8.1 PowerPack should be
available for download, followed by applications from the 8.0 and 7.2
releases.
MandrakeSoft would like to thank the hundreds of Mandrake users who have
joined the Users Club over the past two weeks -- your support is crucial
to help MandrakeSoft keep its high-level of involvement in activities
which do not provide direct revenue, such as putting together the
Mandrake Linux distribution & manuals while keeping them free of charge
and easy to download; supporting Open Source projects; and providing
high-quality news, documentation and support sites.
Please visit the Mandrake Clubhouse at MandrakeClub.com. While the site
is accessible to everyone, only registered members are allowed to join the
discussions, vote, download RPMs, etc.
Support your favorite distribution by joining the Mandrake Users Club
today!
