The reason I was upset is I just spent a week of intense trying to fix
Mandrake 5.3 which didn't seem to be that bad and I am not looking forward
to trying to fix Mandrake 6 which I thought would be ok. For some reason
the Mandrake updates is not working. Not sure what it is supposed to do, is
it just a web page? Or does it actually update your system. I know none of
this is going to update right, so I am thinking of getting Mandrake 6.1 if I
can get a copy on a CD since I don't have a CD burner. I just think sending
Venus out with such serious problems was bad, but then not to update the
packages shipped long after the release was really bad.
