Namecoin Generation

[Darktongue]

 Hi everyone,

 So I've been playing with Bitcoin for a few months now. Never touched the subject of Namecoins. I've spent a great amount of time looking into generating them myself only to find I'm just as limited with my CPU as I am mining Bitcoins. Googleing the subject of "Free Nameoins" leaves me with no faucets or any other slow generating source to get me off the ground. Are there any suggestions for a non negative approach to obtaining namecoins?

If you mine on mining.bitcoin.cz (Slush's Pool), it automatically will mine namecoins for you as well.

Non-negative?

If you mean without buying them, there might be another alt currency that is more workable with your CPU, then use that to trade for bitcoins at an exchange, and then use those bitcoins to trade for namecoins.  All the trades for this can be done through BTC-e.
