.com or .org?

Should we use our .com domain as our main tld for the website?

Personally I think that since we own .com, we may as well use it. It makes us seem that bit more professional / important.

Or, we can show that openmandriva.org (that I prefer) can do something professional too :)

.com should redirect to .org

We are not commercial, we are a completely community based, and we need to show it by using .org. However we should still make use of the .com by redirecting to .org so that people will have no trouble finding us if they type in .com.

I agree with Wayne's argument. .com should redirect to .org. In future, if OM starts anything commercial (paid support, enterprise products, etc.), then we may dedicate .com to a commercial site :)

Sounds good. I never even thought of that, Wayne. I was thinking Ubuntu, which uses .com. But Ubuntu is sort of a company, now.
