I'm addicted to updating ;) Yes, I run 7.2beta as my main
system, but i've updated gradually (over a 28,8) from 7.2 [early]
beta 3 (cheap CD's), to what I feel is comparable to the 7.2 final.
I'd rather maintain Mandrake with cheap Cd's, some d/l'g, and sendin
MandrakeSoft cash donations **, than buyin retail 'Box' versions.

M(NSH)O's are: this is the biggest jump in ease of use and
functionality, stability I've ever experienced since runnin Linux
mostly full time in over 3 years. At first I didn't like kde2, but
that was soon forgotten as I got use to the changes. My impressions
so far are that the underlying base system (for the very new
listenin', only the kernel is Linux) that Mandrake continues to
tweak and refine, despite a big move towards the LSB, is rock solid.
So runnin beta/cooker/my own tweaks, versions of Mandrake is no
problem for me. (thanks to Mandrake)
Guess y'all can tell I'm a happy camper ;> If you are too, let
