To paraphrase one of the best "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episodes, "Best of Both Worlds", both Arch Linux and Slackware represent the best of all the OS worlds: the power of traditional Unix, the elegance of BSD and the ease of mind of Mac OS X. This is an article outlining the differences between --what I believe-- are the two best Linux distros around today. Mind you though, "best" doesn't always mean "easy".

Eugenia,
Read my comments again.
First, I never said anything that was offensive. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Lest you find that offensive, that is just a colloquial expression in American English. In other words, if you cannot accept criticism, what is the point of these comments?
Second, neither Mandrake nor Suse are specifically desktop oriented distributions. They are what you make them. You install them, you decide.
"Especially considering that 80% of the OSNews' readership are geek developers who can find their way around."
Third, no most OSNews readers are a bunch of pretenders with no real experience.

Get a clue. Mandrake has always paid equal attention to Gnome and KDE and they provide both. Hell, they are configuration tools use GTK+ as their toolkit.
And as I said to Eugenia, you install Mandrake and you decide what you want to install. You can even install it without the GUI if you want to. This bullshit about Mandrake being bloated has got to stop. Use it and then speak.
