Several days ago I wrote a rather scathing article about my utter dismay and disappoint with Mandrake 9.1 and by association, Linux as a whole. Since then I have had many many flames and equally as many agreeing emails (is there a simple opposite word for flame?) Since then I have been trying, really really trying to get my system working fully. But time and again I'm coming up against the same brick wall of (un)usability, computer esotericism and down right idiocy.

I originally tried Mandrake and just gave up because of it's constant issues.
I now use Gentoo and, after some teething problems, am having a wonderful time with it. It doesn't pretend to be friendly like Mandrake, but it's so easy to maintain and stay up to date.
To be honest, what annoys me more than anything with Mandrake, Red Hat, et al, is their versioning.
9.1? 0.91 more like. At least 0.91 would reflect the quality of their product.
