Good article Tina..., short and 2 the point. I have liked mandrake since I wrote an ExtremeTech article about it (Glanz). I find it the easiest distro for networking and connection sharing. In other words, the user isn't required to have the knowledge of a Google network administrator to share a connection with his kids (a la RedHat or Debian or FreeBSD). Even Gnome works better on Mandrake than on RedHat. Sometimes I believe that RH doesn't give a ***t about all the RH-specific glitches that it causes for the Gnome environment with its screwed installation of RPM's minus dependencies. This problem is seldom encountered in Mandrake. All the other WM's are there also: Xfce, Blackbox, Fluxbox, Enlightenment, WindowMaker, IceWM, etc..... and they all smoke.
