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.

So ok, Windows XP cost approximatively the same than Mandrake Pro Suite. But with windows you only get the minesweeper. You have actually tp PAY for more softwate like :
Office (>100 $)
DVDreader (>25$)
PhotoEditing (>40$)
etc etc..Why does nobody think about THAT. Windows IS not cheap.
Oh BTW, Mandrake is a fine distribution. All linuxes aren't ready for juste install and roll, and some tweeking is needed. But Windows does to. The difference is that in windows you don't get any debug messages (like on /var/messages) in order to find you r problem.
