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.

does the suse and red hat versions everyone is comparing too come with star office also? i haven't looked, but assume they do...
also, why the club bashing? mandrake club is something they did right! for a few bucks a year i can get every release as if buying a box set, plus other software, plus while everyone else is seeing swamped mirrors i am downoading isos as fast as my cable modem will go. how is this bad?
then they throw in discounts on third party software just in case. real bummer.
