Hi there. I'd have to agree with you on that one - i've been using Mandrake for the past year, and there are many things I like about SuSE, but more that I love about Mandrake. For one thing, rpms are most often found in redhat-ready form, and mandrake happily works with those; the same can't be said for SuSE... I know I could dnld the tarred archives, but why think twice when you've got all the administration benefits of rpm. Then theres the pentium optimized packages - I mean, should pentium users be burdeoned by ancient 486-only optimizations? I feel SuSE should adopt a similar strategy - release a Pentium optimized ISO, and a conventional 486 edition. Well at least Mandrake's thoughtful enough.. Regards, Jason.

At our (austinlug) BYOB (bring your own box) event Saturday, I did three installs of Mandrake 7. It is slik. So slik in fact that I changed my main machine to Drake right away.
The installer set up sound, scanner, and ide cdrom burner with absolutly no input from me, aside from telling it I would like to use the cdburner.
X, network, and ftape only took minimal input.
I guess I am trying to say that I am trading the SuSE list in for a Mandrake one for now.
This is and has always been the friendliest and most helpfull list around, and I will miss you all. I will do waht I can to maintain the same decorum on the Mandrake list.
I just really do not have the time for two high volume lists.
Thanks again, and Have some fun at my expense if you want..
