 What the F#@§ does allow you to speak of stinginess !!!
+
+Mandriva 2010.1 : last security update for openoffice (3.2-4.1) : 110
+Moctets
+
+Slow dialup connection (36kbits/sec max = in fact 25 kbits/sec):
+10 hours for downloading it .... and happy when the connection is not
+broken !
+They reach  half the amount of downloading for one month !
+
+That's for friends of mine, in France ! (30 km from my ADSL 6MBytes/sec)
+
+They might use satellite connection but it has a limited bandwith
+allowance and it's a little expensive...
+They cannot use mobile broadband : it's a white zone !
+
+They are  retired : they spent 20 years of their life working for free
+for humanitary associations in backward countries,  that's the reason
+why they couldn't spare money for now.  They are really poor, but they
+are far from being stringy ... their past life would  put some shame on
+you saying this !
+ Being in the "first world" doesn't always mean being rich ! open your
+eyes !
+
+
+Back to the subject :
+I downloaded the rpms from the repo (few seconds) and kept them in a
+directory after the update !
+Burned some CDs  ! (for those friends, an some in Africa, )
+I know which rpms they installed, and  which to keep when there's an
+update !
+
+I suppose some users would be interested to use Mageia if they knew
+there's a way to get CD of updates, and to update from those CD or DVD
+instead of using internet connection !
+
+GNU-Linux intends to share freely the knowledge, and the way to access
+to it... for everyone!
