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.

"And the main reason they do not include other third party software is because they don't want to have the headaches of supporting it for people who do not understand the difference of "we are not the developers of this application""
Exactly , most people don't know the difference. If something is broke it's vendor's fault. Period.
It is broke? Don't include it, I don't even want to see it.
