It may be supported by some anecdotal evidence, but that does not change the fact that it is an opinion. No one, including you and LX have done any market research that has any kind of validity to it that says a result, one way or another. LX's beef, from what I gather, isn't so much abour rpmdrake as it is about Mandrake Developers not listening to the votes of Club members. Since I am in no position to influence the developer's, and not able to assist in the developement of any changes, I need to spend my time on other more valuable (to me) issues, so I am officially dropping out of this conversation. -- Greg
