Hi Steve,
I assumed that Chris was asking about the commercial version, e.g.
a "Power Pack" edition with commercial stuff on it (e.g. Real Player,
ViaVoice, etc). I think the 3 disk set from Cheap Bytes is the same as
the download version (the free and / or GPL compliant software), e.g.
the ISOs available from various places:
146e585fc46463cb911fd7ac28e6ed69 Mandrake81-cd1-inst.i586.iso
5876d473593db386bf54c612fd5dfb7b Mandrake81-cd2-ext.i586.iso
598a606c69859d732c146bc9299a4de8 Mandrake81-cd3-supp.i586.iso
I generally download the ISOs when they come out (happiness is a
fast net connection). I usually show my (financial) support for
Mandrake by buying the Power Pack edition when it comes out.
And, of course, I give support to Mandrake by evangelizing the
wonderfulness of Mandrake & Linux in general to any and all who will
listen! But seriously, I have been very successful in at least getting
people to dual boot; about 60% of the converts now spend more time in
Linux than in That Other Operating System.
I just re-checked PC connection, they still have the old versions,
no new ones yet:
