</I>><i> >> Yes, nice review but with flaws.

</I>><i> >> In my review I will talk about this as well but I will also tell
</I>><i> >> why this is so and the simple way for the user to get his
</I>><i> >> drivers.
</I>><i> >>
</I>><i> >> The advantage of an author who knows about the subject of his
</I>><i> >> review. That's why the German magazine was pleased to have
</I>><i> >> Mandriva users write the Mandriva reviews.
</I>><i> >>
</I>><i> >> As for the non-free issue: I really wonder why this is coming up
</I>><i> >> again and again and again. It was decided that we keep the DVD
</I>><i> >> free of non-free drivers and that we will have these drivers on
</I>><i> >> the Live media. Why has this to be discussed again, nothing has
</I>><i> >> changed in the meantime.
</I>><i> >>
</I>><i> >> +1 for Thomas sentence about what we are promoting. I would not
</I>><i> >> be a part of all this if we didn't.

</I>><i>
</I>><i> Yes, we did a lot of such commenting on articles and posting in the
</I>><i> forums about this issue for Mandriva because with each release there
</I>><i> are new users coming and asking. And we are doing it for Mageia as
</I>><i> well. Somehow each new user thinks he has to start his own thread
</I>><i> about this :(
</I>><i>
</I>><i> That's why I'd like to see a basic text, explaining everything. This
</I>><i> text could be published on the website (a link on the download page
</I>><i> "What about non-free software?" leading to that text), in the forums
</I>><i> as general announcement, a link in the release notes, etc. And of
</I>><i> course a blog entry "Mageia's distribution policy about non-free
</I>><i> software".
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Then we do not have to explain it all over again and again in mails
</I>><i> and forums. Reviews will still remain the same because normal review
</I>><i> authors do not read such texts. :(
</I>
Yes, agree wholeheartedly. Any clues about exactly what states
our position accurately? Then I can start writing stuff up.
Cheers,
