Cooker is the 'bleeding edge' Mandrake distro. It changes daily, and will sometimes contain packages which contain nasty bugs. Because Cooker packages are compiled using the cooker libraries you will find that if you try to install Cooker packages on a stable release system, you run into all sorts of dependency issues. This is less likely just after the release of the latest distro, but as time goes on Cooker will diverge. 'Community' is a half way house. Once a Cooker package is deemed suitable for use it goes into Community, and now Community is diverging away from 10.0 'Official' Depending on your risk profile you could choose to run 'Official', 'Community', or 'Cooker', but do not run Cooker and then complain about Mandrake being unstable. If there is a new version of an application you want to use which is available in Cooker, but not in the standard release, then the way to avoid dependency issues is to download the Cooker ".src" RPM and rebuild the package on your own system derek --- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
