Things are generally very impressive, but there are a few annoying glitches that could be fixed fairly easily: - - 'obvious' firewalling with something like Guarddog (the current security level method is not obvious enough; it's hard to see the firewall doing its stuff, hence unclear that it's actually working); - - the user interface of the Mandrake-specific applications improved, particularly font importing (I regret to say this, but the profusion of buttons there is just awful); - - the ghastly and broken decorative fonts removed (the Adobe, URW and B&H ones are quite enough to be going on with as most people will import Microsoft fonts); - - support for both greyscale and subpixel anti-aliasing (with a flat panel having to edit /etc/X11/Xftconfig on reinstall to add one line is irritating); - - the Mosfet Liquid theme compiled in as standard (one less job to do, and I'd imagine most KDE users have it installed by now); - - some solution for the Alcatel Speedtouch USB driver problem (getting the proprietary mgmt.o microcode file by hook or by crook as, without it, the Mandrake installation _can never work_ out of the box); - - KDE applications added to fill in gaps currently occupied by Gnome applications only (eg k3b for CD-R and CD-RW, kbear for FTP, kile for LaTeX editing if emTeX is installed), thus enabling 'clean' KDE without Gnome installations.
