I was very impressed by Elx. But you can't have this in standard mdk. why ? + Elx is heavily specialised ans based only on KDE. So they customise KDE a lot and so break compatibilities with others distro and packages you can find on the Net ( for example taking KDE 2.2.2 from kde.org will break your Elx KDE ). As it is heavily specialised, it may not be a good server distro. But it aims to be only a desktop distro. Note : they use somes mandrake tools as harddrake and drakfont. + many things seems to be prelink ( speed impression ) so normal upgrade as to be fogotten. You have to stick with Elx. + mdk is too heterogeneous. They have 2 desktop ( gnome/KDe ) so they can't customise only one of them. They also support many wm. That's why mdk config tools use they own librairies ( libgtk+mdk0 ) and are outside of gnome or KDE config tools. For example to do SMB share in mdk you use diskdrake, but you can't do it though konqueror/nautilus/sfm/gmc/.... + mdk is too polyvalent/compatible/open : desktop, server, firewall. So they can't customise too much their scripts/prog. -- http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html - Penser pour un bon nombre de femmes est plutot un accident heureux qu'un etat permanent.
