Sorry for that.

Anyway, you can be an "alumni" member, that is, a member that pays no fees.... 
and only gets the "benefits" of reading the messages.

So, let's Mandrake lawyers come after me for this (please, get behind AOL 
lawyers, thank you):

 There was recently a controversy on the fact Mandrake Linux 9.2 would include 
Ads.

What really happened ?

There were always ads in Mandrake Linux distros. Mainly about Mandrake own 
offerings (and last time about Safari Online books).

The ads are not intrusive. They appear during the install process (when the 
RPMS are installed) and some bookmarks. In the next release there will be one 
commercial ad for Doctor Web - an anti-virus software.

In the various forum several Club users have requested an "ad free" version 
for the Club members because they thought it could be an intrusive ad.
As you know the Linux User Club is a place where your voice can be listened!

Should we make a special ad free version for Club members? It's too much work 
to remove the bookmarks. But it is possible to remove the install image ad.
However we would rather prefer to keep the same version for everyone (less 
work, less risk). Remember that the ad appears only during the installation!

Please give your vote! If many Club members request an ad free version we will 
build one.
