Not only that, eight years ago Mandrake Linux was one of the biggest, if not _the_ biggest selling boxed Linux. In the U.S. I saw it in book stores, of all places, and it had (I can't remember which) McGraw-Hill or MacMillan publisher label on it. I remember seeing a statistic somewhere in 1998 - 2001 that Mandrake Linux far and away outsold all other boxed distributions. Of course, at that time, it was cheaper and faster to go to the store than to try to download a couple of CD's over a phone modem at 14Kb or 23KB. At long distance, no less.
