The lists are were I learn and get what problems I come across fixed. They are much better then the official support channels. I both distros to support what I feel are two best distro and help Linux and the distro's improve. With out financial support the growth would be much slower and their would be little integration or install tools etc. the stuff that is bringing Linux to the mainstream. Bottom line is both distro's do a poor job with their official support channels, both continue to have install problems, both show continuing imporvements in the install, and stability area's. For me I find SuSE just a tad more stable then Mandrake. - --
