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.
