that's running on 2007.1 Free.
Apache is, of course, in the public repositories. *Every* free / open source package in Mandriva is in the public repositories. This has always been the case whatever we happened to be called at the time. There have always been commercial and free editions of Mandriva / Mandrake, and the difference has always been just that the commercial editions come with manuals, support and commercial packages, and include more of the free packages on the discs (but the rest are always available from the public mirrors). I don't understand where you're drawing any kind of distinction between Mandrake and Mandriva. There was absolutely no change in this regard.

adding public Internet repositories to an install is very easy and documented here: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_removin...
I don't see where I'm whining about anything. On the page in question you can download a complete, fully functional operating system for the huge price of *nothing*. In return you have to suffer the agony of seeing an advert for a service. We're very sorry for your pain.
