(I'm of two minds of this, but I thought it was worth bringing the subject up)
What about the possibility of having a few windows programs on the Mandrake
CDs apart from the ones directly related to installation (rawrite and the
like)? The two that come to mind immediately are the Windows client and server
of VNC and an ext2 filesystem browser.
The basic idea is to improve Windows / Linux connectivity by including Windows
programs as well. I use VNC quite a lot to use windows programs running of my
win95 print server (Wine can't quite handle them), and I'm sure that many
people would like to access their Linux disks from within Windows.
OTOH Mandrake is, of course, a *Linux* distro. And if you start sticking some
Windows programs in Linux distros, where do you stop? An ssh client, X server
(if that exists for Windows), Mozilla...?
(This obviously applies to other OSes, too.)
