<p>Mandriva users from all over the world exchange their interest in
new Linux technologies thanks to community support. They help new users
get comfortable with Linux basics. This community, animated by the passion
of the free software, is what has made the Linux and the Mandriva
community so unique since the inception of our distribution in
1998.
</p>
<p>This community is open: we invite you to join other Mandriva Linux
users to share your experience, ask questions or just say "Hi!". You can
easily join other users by connecting to the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.mandriva.com/community" target="_top">Community website</a>
and following the major links to community resources. Register simply on
the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.mandriva.com/register" target="_top">Register
page</a>.
</p>
<p>As an added bonus, we are inviting you to become a registered and
identified member of this community. The registration is free-of-charge
and open to all. There is no membership fee. By registering you can
interact with other community members as an identified member on the
forums, not just as "Joe Anonymous User".
