For one thing, Mandrake is very strong on interational language support, so you're going to get more spell check support than the UN has. Likewise docs. And other stuff. While disk space is no longer an issue, administrative time still is. If you miss something, it's very simple to add it later -- urpmi works very well. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
