I dl'd 9.1r3 (final?) last night... Gotta say, fantastic release. I use Slackware all day in a non-gui web hosting environment, but on workstations or home I've always liked Mandrake or Redhat or Suse. I've been using the RH 8.1 beta, but I gotta say with integration nowadays with the 'galaxybluecurve' environmewnts, the convincing points for me for Mandrake is this: Speed. This thing is a LOT faster for me than RH on a P3 1ghz machine...and out of the box multimedia.
