Mandrake is a nice distro no questions abiut that, but it need some polishing yet. I use it on stand alone home computer, so I do miss a few firewalls with GUI that Windows has a quiet few. The Linux shell power is nat questionable, but average user (included me) would like to "point and click" than be a typist. As I do remember, few yers ago, a user was able to do voice commands on Mac systems, on some applications. If we can, we should go forward, not stay in place.
