RE: I can try to answer a few questions

@SMEAT
This just goes to show you that you can't please everyone. Eugenia says that linux distros put too many menu entries in by default. This person installs their sytem and says there are not enough menu entries by default.
That's why Mandrake has two menus :
* one "What To Do ?" menu with a few entries named like
"Read my mails", "Browse the internet", ...
* one well-organized by category where you can find all programs with their name (It's just me or it's very better than the crap of the disorder of the windows start menu) and one menu "What To Do ?" for people like Eugenia with a few selected prograls

Just run menudrake and choose what you prefer

I know that. :-) I was reffering to two conflicting opinions from users who wrote reviews.

Thank you for your very well thought out response though.
