Giving Desktop/LX users a Mandriva Club discount

Hi,

As you are aware, Mandriva has purchased the technology assets from
Lycoris.  As part of this agreement, Mandriva wishes to give a special
discount on Club memberships to Desktop/LX users!

Until October 10th, Mandriva is offering a 35% discount for all one-year
memberships (both new and renewals).  To get your discount, visit this web
site:

http://www.mandrivalinux.com/en/club/

and enter the promo code:

PCS-LYCOS1

This club account will allow you to immediately download the current 
*commercial versions* of Mandriva Linux 10.1 and 2005, and also the brand new 
Mandriva Linux 2006 when it is released.

If that wasn't enough, we are inviting all Club members to participate in a 
live chat with Lycoris founder Joseph Cheek, on Thursday, the 22nd of September 
from 12 noon to 12:30 pm Eastern Time (6:00 pm to 6:30 pm Paris time).  Joseph 
will be talking about what the company Mandriva is like on the inside, about 
the convergence of Lycoris Desktop/LX with Mandriva's Discovery product, and a 
little about what Paris is like from an American point of view.  Of course, he 
will answer your questions as well.

The Club is Mandriva's online software and services repository.  It is the 
product which will encompass what was done with Lycoris' IRIS Software Gallery 
and the Lycoris.org forums, while including more such as blogs, wikis, and so 
on.  It also includes Mandriva Online for Silver and higher level members, 
which is the easiest way to update existing Mandriva systems.

Here are all the benefits that the Club offers:

Free downloads

- Early and privileged access to Mandriva Linux ISO files is provided, always 
before the public release.

- Access to the first six CDs or the full DVD of the latest PowerPack and 
Mandriva Move, including numerous proprietary drivers and plugins (i586), or 
the 4 CD AMD64 edition (Silver and above members only).

- Full access to commercial applications.

- Full access to a huge database of all the software packages currently 
available for Mandriva Linux distributions.

- Full access to blogs, forums, a wiki, chat, and more available through the 
new Club platform.  One-click IRIS integration will be coming soon as well!

- Early access to Mandriva Linux manuals and technical documentation

- Full access to the Mandriva Club Knowledge Base


Other Benefits

This impressive array of benefits and services makes the Club a great value for
