[newbie] An apology and a round of virtual beer
Being the guy who initiated the Minimizing the cult-factor-thread, I've learned a few things : 1. Never raise a general question unless you are prepared to get carried away big-time. 2. Dvorak was wrong : Nobody (well, almost) here wants to keep linux for themselves (the Ferrari versus the Ford - syndrome). 3. Very, very few geeks here (geeks drink Coke, not beer). 4. Femme Fatale is english, not french. 5. One question answered, ten more raised. 6. You CAN have it all : Mandrake ! (The pure-at-heart can just rpm -e all the eye-candy i.e. KDE, Gnome, XFCe, Blackbox, Enlightenment etc.. Then XFree86 itself and thus enjoy the command-line in all its beauty. The rest of us can do as we please). 7. I can create an alias for myself and join the Mandrake Club once more. And I will. 8. My english needs improvement. 9. It's a small world. Probably more than that, but I don't care right now, 'cause I've just opened my fridge and poured myself a big foamy glass of Carlsberg. Raised it to my big mouth and pronounced : Cheers, all - I love you more than somewhat ! Kaj Haulrich Denmark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Then XFree86 itself and thus enjoy the command-line in all its beauty. The rest of us can do as we please). Exactly. People who call for a stripped down, newbie-friendly Mandrake (or a no bloated apps, serious geeky Mandrake) are ignoring the fact that, as with most distros, you, the user, choose how much or how little you install. Anyway, the lost-beyond-all-hope geeks use Debian. 7. I can create an alias for myself and join the Mandrake Club once more. And I will. 8. My english needs improvement. Very little, I would say (speaking as an English teacher). 9. It's a small world. Probably more than that, but I don't care right now, 'cause I've just opened my fridge and poured myself a big foamy glass of Carlsberg. I'm jealous. I'm drinking Efes Dark, which is the closest Turks get to an English beer. That's why I usually stick to raki. Raised it to my big mouth and pronounced : Cheers, all - I love you more than somewhat !
