I wouldn't take my comment too seriously, I should have put a smiley into that e-mail. It's just that using this mailing list as forum for input into product direction doesn't seem right. You are bound to get "I want this" and "I want that" and eventually it will be "I want everything". Well of course we do! But I do personally think that the quality is beginning to suffer. I think Mandrake should be releasing less frequently and have a longer stability/testing/fixing period. If you look at the reviews of Linux distros, the highest points are awarded to those that work with the least number of problems. But at the same time, It would have been good to get more of the Club-requested apps into the release. Its all swings and roundabouts. Ed-T.
