Brianwhen I tried out Caldera there were sure enough rough
edges for me. Also, the real official Linux Mandrake Power Pack
has 6 cd's and a whole bunch of stuff in rpm format that you
can't find anywhere else (like star office & wordperfect).
Maybe you shouldn't write off Mandrake so easily

It depends. If you "buy" the free version (i.e. d'l the ISO of

Why? This may be of interest. Is there a way to improve the page

I started with redhat 6.0 and then moved to 6.1 when it came out last

you have here is a vfat partition on the same computer as the
Linux system is running that you want to be able to write to,
then you need the entry 'umask=0' in the options column of your
