Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

Getting tired!

IMO, Mandrake is closest to replace Windows than any other Linux distro. Mandrake and Redhat are taking turns sniffing each others butt, releasing versions at almost the same time. Apparently, they hate each other. This time around though, based on reviews here, Mandrake 9.1 is clearly the one leading over Redhat 9.0.

However, I am getting tired of these reviews. Yes, yes. Linux is not anywhere closer to replacing Windows. Live with that fact for now. And yes, we want Mandrake not to die and continue developement of their excellent and ambitious distro. But too much could be a conspiracy going...
