I would say wrong target for mandrake , isn't it ? ;) yupp, we have quite a different focus, eg. we focus more on having stuff working easily, good at the same time secure, also that things are up to date, while in debian they're more focused on having things secure, and does'nt care much about the other things I mentioned, also they don't have to do releases as often as debian is a non-profit organization while mandrakesoft is a commercial company, and also when considering how fast things evolve in the open source world, I really don't think we should have longer release cycles.. so yes, I agree on this being a wrong target:) you have to have a certain balance.. - -- Regards, Per �yvind Karlsen Sintrax Solutions http://www.sintrax.net - +47 41681061 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux)
