        I've been following this thread, and I can see both sides of the
story being reasonable. But, for myself, I say screw "Joe Average User". I
don't use Mandrake because it's the "easiest". I use it because it tends to be
the most cutting-edge distribution and more or less compatible with Redhat.
Yeah, the additional effort put into the mandrake desktop is quite nice, too,
but I for one hope Mandrake is not heading toward being the idiot's linux. We
already have Corel and Caldera vying for that title. Give me control, give me
nice conf tools and up to date packages. Then let me hack it. My 2 cents.
