Sorry for the redonduncy - in case you don't read the announce mailing list... First an interesting paper of Nicholas Petreley about the Linux World Award he need to give: http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-07/lw-07-penguin_1.html Mandrake created an interesting problem for me. I really like Mandrake 6.0. It's based on Red Hat 6.0, but Mandrake strikes me as a better Red Hat than Red Hat. That poses some problems. If Mandrake qualifies for an award, shouldn't Red Hat share some of the credit? Or look at it this way: Red Hat claims the real value of its product is the service and support that come with it. When you download or buy Mandrake, you get the Red Hat distribution but you don't get Red Hat support. Is Mandrake really a better Red Hat than Red Hat if you can't get Red Hat support? (Mandrake does come with 100 days of free installation support if you purchase a box instead of downloading You can give your opinion :-) on Linuxworld forum. Secondly an hard drive partitionning software to test carefully and improve it's Diskdrake: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/diskdrake Jacques
