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.
Mandrake 9 Standart $30 or free download (iso)
Suse 8.1 Standart $39.95
Mandrake 9 Pro 69.95
Suse 8.1 Pro 79.95
Prices from their websites
And yes Mandrake ProSuite $199
some people like to spent money,so what!
You like Suse, fine go for it, i like Mandrake.
I do agree that they shouldn't put all the demos in the prosuite, but what the hell, i don't need prosuite.
