I'm pinning a lot of hope on Mdk 8.2 for desktop duty at work for our programmers. I third this. 8.0 and 8.1, despite having loads more useful features (like ext3 and mod_dav) and up-to-date applications (like ethereal and KOffice), also had some significant things which did not work well (or usually at all) out of the box, like Broadcast 2000 and WINE. I would *much* rather that significant things like this worked well *OUT*OF*THE*BOX* (ie, no recompiles, no adding of Windows libraries etc) than have it look nicer or be released earlier, impatient as I am to get my hands on a nice neat package full of shiny new toys. Also, the whole Open Source community benefits from the close inspections that their applications suffer during intense Cookering. Cheers; Leon You can't ask that notepad works in wine. That would be something to hard to ask.

The reason I originally switched to mandrake was because it worked better than redhat. The niceness of it was just a bonus. I had no problems with 8.0, and a lot with 8.1. 8.2 should be perfect and confirm to the skeptics after 8.1 that mandrake is a quality distro. BTW I run a mandrake virus scanning mailserver based on 8.0 here. Its medium sized, handling approx 15,000 mails per week. It worked the day they plugged it in, and it has been up and not skipped a beat since. The exchange server however has crapped out majorly about 4 times. There are a lot of people who want redhat because its the norm, but they cant justify the swap as long as there hasnt been a single problem with the mandrake box :) I belive quaily is more important ahead of anything else.

I have a Mandrake (8.1) mailserver, nothing like 15kMails/day but scans viruses using Sophos managed by AMaViS, competing with RedHat in a pigeon pair of companies. SendMail under Redhat, although listening on port 25, was no accepting mail from the LAN today. PostFix under Mandrake has never blinked. The reason I got the job in the first place was because of another (then 8.0, now 8.1) Mandrake server (still not 15kMails/day but scores of websites as well, and firewall/proxy for a dozen public-access screens, SaMBa and NFS server, jukebox (no, I'm not kidding, the keyboard cable runs through a wall and people select songs on it, blind, from outside) and scores more DNS zones, SMS relay, mailing lists, yadda yadda - name it, it runs here) which has never blipped despite considerable abuse (power losses etc). I also have servers replacing Exchange, and their big feature, from the POV of their owners, is that they've forgotten that the mail servers exist. It must be said in all fairness that the vast majority of buggy/unstable stuff that I've had problems with are not services but applications, and mostly X applications. And also that, bugs or no, Mandrake (even 8.1) doesn't (yet, and may it never) have Windows' habit of changing (ie breaking) things spontaneously. Cheers; Leon
