[plug] Just installed mandrake 10

[Shayne O'Neill]

I've always liked mandrake.

Although I'm definately a debian guy these days , mandrake always
seemed... polite.. The latest fedora just seemed to bloated (stuff all
features over too much hd:: no idea why) but mandrake just works and seems
to get the feature combo just right to my tastes for a home machine.

That said rpm hell is just intensified with mandrake. Although I am given
to understand that the online update stuff catches it up with debians
karma.

ooh thats right :) I got adsl now. must play.
