As for using Mandrake as a server; That's fine.
I used Mandrake as one of my MP3 servers. Not like illegal mp3 server, but where I used it around my house for back ups and to listen to music. I can't see why anyone would think any Linux distro other than Lindows would make a bad server, hell Windows gets away with being called a server OS. Free BSD makes a good server too. But I have also known people who have installed Free BSD, went to sleep, and woke up to a rooted box. I have a friend who installed Mandrake as a server and got rooted too. Point being, it doesn't matter what distro you use, it matters how you use it. I use SuSE, Mandrake, and Slackware the most. I like them. I don't dual boot at all anymore, but this is my Slackware box. I use other boxes for each. -- __________________________________________________ We Are 138 http://www.suse.com http://www.slackware.org http://www.bsd.org http://www.daemonnews.org/ http://www.cannibalholocaust.net http://www.misfits.com http://www.onethirtyeight.com
