Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

Well, need I say more? Mandrake is my favourite distro, has always been, and probably will for a while... The lovely thing about Mandrake is that it just... well, works! Files are ascociated with the right programs, it has a nice graph boot/shutdown and so on.

Two difficulties with Mandrake though:
1) They need to write the MDK Control Centre and it's apps from scratch. Even though they do their job pretty well, they look and feel... outdated.
2) Please, MandrakeSoft... Do something about Galaxy! Damn, it's ugly ;)
