Sure..I send in some small monies most every month.. But I'm not interested in a "prize" .. My support for DSL rings true.. Mailbombing the forums is NOT appreciated by the userbase. It's akin to farting on an elevator full of folks.. 1. Not popular 2. Never forgotten While your cause is just and true, your methods are offensive to forum-users, and shine a negative light towards fund-raising or supporting DSL .. Please refrain from repeating that activity in the future. 73 ke4nt Posted by roberts on July 01 2005,19:21
Andrew,Although your thoughts and enthusiasm for DSL are much appreciated, your approach in posting in every forum is not the way to show it. A single post would have sufficed. Although, holding a raffle like this may still in itself may be an issue. I don't know if it is so. Please use the "edit" feature and clean up the multiple posts.

Thank you roberts.I am sorry for my error. I have done the best of my ability to clean up posts, pointed all to, DSL Ideas and Suggestions. I understand what you are saying about it being an issue. I hope not. I read an interesting article in 'Linux Format,' by the boss of Linspire, talking about all kinds of stuff moving to online. He mentioned a barbie doll site where you dress up dolls online! Virtual everything? Again, I apologize. Posted by ke4nt1 on July 01 2005,21:58
Was DSL included in the accompanying CD/DVD for that issue?I usually pickup a copy, whenever the articles interest me, or the contents of the discs catch my eye.. 73 ke4nt Posted by andrewphoto on July 02 2005,00:14
Yes it was, as well as all the mini distros reviewed. I didn't take note which version.It was a good article, and good screenshots of all. I burned a copy Feather linux, but agreed with Linux Format, said that Feather was bolted together whereas DSL was crafted. Said that Puppy reviewed next issue but never happened. I didn't purchase that issue. I slightly object to paying six pounds and fifty pence for a magazine, although it is a good magazine, I could digest it & pass it on to a local Linux group. Or I could paypal the 12 bucks a month to John instead. Posted by andrewphoto on July 02 2005,10:54
I'll try and keep an eye on the British press.
