It's a bit of a mess because (among other things) there are _far_ too many domains registered and, as you point out, the navigation is poorly done; there are plenty of sites with far better navigation which could be stolen from. Also, cookies aren't used, which is a bit of a pain as you have to log in far too often (the box for doing so is generally unobtrusive and in the top right of the screen). All the same, with the limited resources Mandrakesoft has I'd prefer these were channeled towards the distribution rather than the Web site unless outright wrong information is being propagated there ...
