Again, value of a product is in the eye of the beholder. SuSE's enterprise lineup is superior to Linux Mandrake's. IBM doesn't view Mandrake as a serious contender in their markets of interest, at least in contrast to Red Hat and SuSE. > LX > > -- > ??????????????????????????????????????????????? > Linux Mandrake 9.1 Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk > "Filter That, Beach!" --Lanman, MDK Newbie List > ???????????????????????????????????????????????? > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -- Aaron Matteson - http://www.loreland.com - JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show me a man of violence that came to a good end, and i will take him for my teacher.
