I like mandrake 9.0. 9.1 was disappointing. I hope as soon as the ISO are ready I can download and try 9.2. If its better than 9.0 and 9.1 I will buy it. I really like the way I can download things and install them with out a problem on Red hat. Mandrake must use different places they store files in. Cause every time I download a rpm and install it the program never works. I have to uninstall it. I really like the urpmi. It is so cool.

Then RH 8.0 came out and it was crap. Then I tried mdk 9.0 and was impressed but was too lazy to migrate. Then I installed mdk 9.1 and - uhmmm, interesting. I didn't even think to look at RH 9.0. And finally with 9.2 - it got me! - I migrated my whole thing (development, databases etc.) to it and I'm very happy! > I imagine this is good news for mandrake as there will be a ton of > redhat users looking around for a new distro... Yes, I just talked to a friend of mine that keeps on using RedHats and I told him: what will you do? He said "I dunno...". Then I offered him mandrake to try out... :-) I think mandrake has a great future as a world's no.1 desktop, multimedia and development distro. The main thing for mdk cookers to keep in mind is compatibility with other distros - just to be sure there will be no problems compiling sources. Artemio.
