I'm happy you're finding us useful. We're always eager to hear comments and suggestions on how to make RovR more useful. Regarding the Mandriva distro, it was interesting for us, no one informed us it was going to happen, and it was a bit of a touchy issue for some who didn't expect it to be there, as we hadn't tailored the initial experience to people just "having it in their browsers from the get go" without some form of intro first! I think we adapted decently for this eventually though. Anyway, all the best and thanks again, and I've added you to my BlogRovR subscriptions! Yours, Marc Meyer, CEO of BlogRovR (110k users and growing fast!) Rich, thanks for the site and the kind words about BlogRovR. I’m happy you’re finding us useful.

I am using the Powerpack edition. Mandriva offers a purely free software edition (Mandriva Linux Free 2008) of their software with a page recommending why you should use it: http://www.mandriva.com/en/community/free-software So they meet the responsibility you mention. I see where you are coming from, though. I will say this. I'm no Mandriva slappy by any means, I've been tough on them on this site in the past. I've been using 2008 daily since it was released, and I have to say it is an outstanding distribution. Take care, Rich @lefty.crupps-

You've got to be kidding! The point of Free software is Freedom from this craap; to not be bothered with these things. And its the responsibility of the distro publishers to give their users Free software which is theirs to use as they see fit -- not to encourage them to sign up for a service they may or may not want, or need. Mandriva 2007, you say? I'll stay away. Thanks for the warning. Mandriva 20088has an preinstalled annoyware which pops up asking you to sign up for an account somewhere? You’ve got to be kidding!
