Non pass member

[williamj]

Hello to the one that knows

Could someone tell me please what is a 'non pass member'?
How does this effect me and my synaptic downloads? I made a small donation late last year.
Thanks

===============

At times I think I have lost the plot but where do I see this 'non pass member' notification and what is the 'pass server' scoundrel?
I shall be happy and market the query SOLVED once I find out.

thanks once again

that means what it says ...is this something you see when using the pass server??

A non-pass member is a member who doesn't have a pass account.

he should have one if the donation was made late last year ??

I'm interested from the opposite stance, as a non (as yet) donation user ?
What difference is there between a Non Pass member, concerning content in the repositories ?

No difference except timing... 1st PASS, then within 24 - 48 hours, all fully sync'd repositories.

Of course, there's the satisfaction of knowing you've donated to the development, etc. of this great OS!

The only real difference is When you get the latest (stable) updates/upgrades

Thanks for explaining that !

I have no need of a reward to donate, I already have PCLinuxOS.
