Star Review of Mandrake Linux ProSuite Edition 9.0
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Wed 20th Nov 2002 22:20 UTC
Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris 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.

There is no such thing as Mandrake 9 PRO. Their next product is the PowerPak, which is not a server OS as SuSE 8.1 PRO and RH PRO is, but just a bumped-up Standard version with more CDs.
For me, ProSuite is the equivelant of SuSE's and RH's PRO versions.
