Oh, and another thing, Mandrake is used by some police, ambulance and fire departments, even one AirForce base, and they run ToughBooks with a touchscreen. Have you ever tried moving files from one directory to the other when as soon as you put your finger on the file, it launches an application? I'm sure you would laugh at first, be very shocked when the Lieutenant throws the laptop on the floor without you knowing it's made of magnesium alloy and doesn't break ;-) Then you would laugh again, because the Kernel panics (not the Linux Kernel of course, the *person* ;-) These ToughBooks are tested by dropping them 26 times from a height of 36 inches, on a drop surface that has a 2 inch thick plywood over a steel plate over concrete. You can also drop coffee or water on them, their test is a 15-minute drip test. Pretty impressive. Jean-Michel
