I had hoped to have 8.0 by now, like the rest of the civilized world, but nobody can give me a date so I have put myself out of the agony of uncertainty and cancelled the order for the update. To replace it, I ordered the new Mandrake ProSuite8.2 distro. It took me but 3 minutes to arrange to have it couriered from CompuSmart in Montreal next week and so I will not have to endure the Yast1 problem - although I am sure, inspite of Mandrake's overwhelming market position in Britain and Europe - that I will be introduced to other pies in the pasture :-) At least I can begin to get my users into operation. Why not just wait for 8.0? Because, sadly, I cannot see I'd have the free time to upgrade multiple sites at some unknown time in the future. Those things need to be planned for if they are to work smoothly. I can do that now because the sites are new. I won't have that luxury after the 15th of may. To those of you with whom I have had contact, thank you for your interest and I wish you continued success. It will be kind of hard to peel the little green guy off my terminal - but c'est la vie.
