You're not really telling me anything I didn't know or that I cared about here. Thanks. When I'm doing installs and upgrades for free the last thing I need is to have to return to the same address "2 or 3 Months later" to have to re-install or upgrade a system. Again for free. The first look excitement will be gone and the potential Open Source convert will be a Windows lock-in again until they decide a new system is in order. How many shots do I have to lead a person out of the darkness? Especially if that install won't work because it wasn't properly debugged in QA. It makes me feel and look stupid, and it doesn't do a Hell of a lot for MandrakeSoft's reputation either. As to why anyone should care; they shouldn't. At all. But remember that of the people that I've assembled systems for, and introduced to GNU/Linux by installing Mandrake, more than half have spent money to support the company. Whether box sets or memberships. It's good to know that you're so happy, it would be even better if I hadn't posted such a gripe in the first place. I'm starting not to give a damn. I'm also thinking it's time for me to drop Mandrake mail list subscriptions again, permanently this time.
