MandrakeSoft and Pearson Education sent us over a copy of their latest "pro" edition of the popular Linux Mandrake 9.0. We already wrote a review about Linux Mandrake 9.0, so this is going to be a review of the ProSuite deal specifically and what you get for $199 USD RPP (easily found for around $175 USD in the market). Update: Apparently, StarOffice 6.0 is included in its full version with the distribution. Too bad Mandrake does such a poor job and include its RPMs along with some hundreds other demos in the two Commercial CDs, without saying a word about it (or where to find it) in the "Commercial Software Guide" booklet or another really prominent place.

Hell, OS X, SUE 8.1, and even Windows pro are all cheaper.
YAST IMO is one fo the ebst things ever invented, though it culd eba lot more user friendly and speedy, it outmaches all otehr tools in power. SuSE's update is also better, i already got KDE 3.0.5 thrugh YAST and a ton fo upgrades.
I own SuSE 8.1 pro, and I have to say it is truly much much better priced and definetely worth the $49 (I got the subscription plan, so it's only 49).
In fact SuSE probably had the best value for the money out of all the major disitributions Pro editions. It all also looked really attractive. SuSE is the best IMO, I can evens ent a support query rigt from YAST, that's convinient
Check out my SUSE desktop too: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=4030
