Done the Mandrake Thang ..... Liked it to a point... usually where my
dependancies got so balled up.
Dude, Try Connectiva 6.0, from Brazil. They have integrated APT into rpm
management .... which is good for those of us that don't have 16 hours a day
to debug the stuff... They also have the mondo KDE2 desktop for those using
a gui.
Drake is ok, but like Red Hat is overated.
Point is, the people who worked on Connectiva seem to have taken into
account some very important ideas. One, for thier economic structure, Paying
royalties to MS forever is dumb. Two, people really do not care what the
run.... as long as it is stable, and upgradeable. Three, the install process
is as easy as Caldera's or Drake, easier than RedHat and with apt running in
the backround... for some odd reason... everything you install works....
provided you listen to it and install the dependacies.
