There are several things that might be solved with a subscription plan where the
DSL user would pay a one time fee up front, say $50.00, and would automatically get new versions sent to him, and perhaps betas not released to mainstream, for
a total of say, 10 CD's. Postage and handling being a big expense, so the actual number needs to be fairly determined.
----
When the 10 are sent, then your subscription is up.
---
A lot of us are, let us say, enthralled by the idea of DSL, and would like to be able
to get some betas to test, and provide feedback through this board.
Those comments would generate interest in the subcription idea. Perhaps the
subscription would only be for betas, some of course, almost as complete as the
release.
---
What the developers of DSL get is more feedback, and perhaps code itself.
You know, Microsoft has many thousands of such testers, and I heard that
Windows XP was provided to them for $9.95.
---
All the DSL beta testers get in return for any suggestions and or code provided to DSL is an occasional suprise in the mailbox, a new
CDROM from John!
And the fun and satisfaction of having contributed something to a nice, unique Linux distribution. With out mailboxes filling up with statements, bills and
other $%*)#@ nowadays, what a nice suprise, a DSL CD!
---
With the subcription plan, I could forget about having to order DSL for a
while! It'll appear automagically in my mailbox!
