Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I want to start off by saying that MandrakeMove is an incredible distribution and I am going to focus on some rather particular points in this review. My hope is to make the community aware of some of the outstanding issues with running MandrakeMove and not to discredit the countless hours Mandrake employees spent on making such a polished product. We all want Linux to succeed and that can only be accomplished by continuing to test, report and ask why or why not? The lifecycle of linux is like an organism, it has to keep breathing to stay alive.

Kernel panic because of the insertion of a USB device?

Can you really induce a kernel panic on a Mandrake Linux box by plugging a USB key into it?

Does this affect all Linux kernels? and if so, it seems to be a pretty bad flaw - surely the assumption should be that idiots can and will plug all manner of things into the USB ports - including things that arent even meant to be plugged there.
