I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

I don't understand, each weeks someone is trying to sell his own experience with xandros, linspire, or whatever slakware/debian based distro is on the wind this week and they compared it with redhat/fedora/suse/whatever but never with mandrake ?
according to distro watch, mandrake is the most downloaded distro, the most polished one and for sure the one who works the most easily out of the box (adsl, tv card, capture card, whatever you want)
if you follow the steps from easy urpmi in http://plf.zarb.org you've got instant acces to everything via urpm.....
Really, I don't want to start a new flameware but why ?
