> Where have you seen that claim regarding 6.0 or 6.1? > > We claim 100% compatibility for 5.x releases, 99% for 6.x http://www.linux-mandrake.com/images/mandrake6.0.gif That's one of the advert banners on the linux-mandrake site. Also, but don't quote me on that, I believe Gael Duval said something very similar to that in an interview that I followed via a Slashdot link. Like I said, it was more curiosity than anything else that drove my question, since you folks have quite adeptly created a kick-butt distribution - RedHat made using Linux a lot easier, but they slipped very quickly in quality; Mandrake 'fixes' the RedHat distro in my eyes, and also adds certain touches that make it fun to use (like a web-site where you can actually get answers to problems from people that actually respond, and a GUI that you can actually use). Most of teh questions/concerns I had about some left-over issues in 6.1 appear to be addressed in 'cooker', so the open development model, again, is a great idea. Unfortunately, at this point, I do not see RedHat doing the smart thing and adopting those ideas anytime soon - that's why I run Mandrake. -- Beauty, brains, availability, personality - pick any two.
