Hi, xillo!

You shouldn't need to register. I can't think of any reason to register your copy of Mandrake-- if there is a registration, I don't think you'd benefit any by doing it.

A lot of times, distros will have paid registrations that entitle you to some commercial software, or some other types of downloads. Often times, you register and pay to support that distro. It's just another way of giving back to the community.
