Not true at all. Where
did you get into that conclusion from?
During the last instaparties (over
the last 2.5 years), we have gone with both Mandrake and Redhat versions all the
way (together), and during the installation themselves we've mainly installed
Mandrakes. This very last meeting, I also supported Mandrake, but for some
justified problems with laptops (which we'd believed that many of these would
arrive), most of the rest of the club decided to go on Redhat 8.0 (for a
change!), and this is what we did. Indeed, we've had some typical "bugs" there
as well, such as unidentical graphics card leads toward messy configuration with
the X. Another X problem is that you can't install it if you don't have SOME
mouse (and to use your mouse later at home), and the "default" installation
doesn't hold some very important programs, which we'd believed that would
naturally be tagged.
Now, it seems that Mandrake 9.1 works better, but
nobody knows what will happen until next winter. Things change. We might go for
both distros, and we might choose only one of them. This is where you can raise
your voice, and if you arrive to the club, you will be able to do it as well.
Until then (around October) - we are peaceful
:)
Regards,
Adir.
