6.2. MandrakeOnline Services

MandrakeOnline is a new service brought to you by MandrakeSoft. What is it? A subscription offer bringing you extra services in order to make your Mandrake Linux even easier to work with.

This offer consists of three main features:

  1. E-mail Alerts. According to the packages and their version installed on your machine, you will receive e-mail alerts about potential security threats and security updates. The solution brought directly to you in minimum time ensures maximum security for your system.

  2. Rebates on MandrakeExpert. Subscribing to MandrakeOnline automatically entitles you to rebates on the purchase of support incidents.

  3. E-mail Alias. Finally you are given a cool e-mail alias of the form <YourName@mandrakeonline.net>, pointing to the e-mail address you provided at subscription time.

Launch the MandrakeOnline wizard from the icon on the desktop to discover this service for a free trial period.

This wizard first asks you if you already registered your account during the Mandrake First Time Wizard. If not, check the box and follow the subscription process. You will then be asked to log in, using the information provided by the confirmation e-mail received soon after the subscription is completed. When this is done, your machine's configuration information is sent to our servers, after you agree of course.
