I completely agree to the contents of the above posts. The choice of language OTOH is an entirely different matter... :-\ Still, continued unpredictable removals and changes of my kde environment will ultimately cause me to ditch Mandrake Linux and start using something like Debian.... That would be a shame because Mandrake seems to be really heading in the right direction. Are our voices heard at all here? Can somebody give us Mandrake's policy on the direction of Mandrake / kde integration? Kan we expect more and more removals or changes of kde base packages in the future? Thx John
