I completely agree. Mandrake is a good distribution going through hard times and the right-wing stance on this list does anything but help get new customers. Sometimes like with this gun-discussion it's just too beyond, and when they start throwing around books of racists, I cannot but wonder how many like you are driven away. I feel the urge to Debian too... But this is not the fault of Mandrake, it's just this list. Btw. aren't the important guys like RMS lefitsts? Thorwals certainly comes from a leftist-'socialistc bullshit' country and has said (quoting from memory here - from "just for fun" that 'in a country like finland where social security is good, giving away linux for Free was just the natural thing to do...') But to take your idea of right-wing-inconsistency as why they use a french distribution to the extreme: Aren't right-wingers supposed to be using M$ and support the true capitalistic way instead of some Linux-community-communistic ideal of everyones for everybody? b.
