You don't get it. Most Mandrake users are either
1st New to Linux
or
2nd Extremely Lazy (Like me)
The new users are often very experienced Windows users that are trying Linux because they've heard rumers of stability. Mandrake is in a unique position, able to introduce their type of Linux before users are even aware of names like Slackware, Debian, etc...
Mandrake needs to capitolize on the new users excitement. Buy opening doors to incomming developers and users alike.
Market a Mandrake Magazine full of tips, hints, and intros to their new operating system. In the Magazine you can sell other products to users you already know support your platform as well as sell advertising space to a userbase that will probably soon need new products and services.
I can't understand why mandrake is so dense when it comes to marketing a monthly newsletter type offering.
EVERYONE BENIFITS!
