You know I've been using this distro since mandrake 5.3 I've supported
mandrake over the years and I still prefer mandrake over the others but I'm
really curious how come the security updates seem to break things for that
last few mandrake releases.
With mandrake 8.1 and 8.2 the security updates made it so that older mac
clients could simply not even get on the net anymore. This worked out of the
box and only broke with the security updates for the various rpm's needed for
connection sharing.
Now with these sets of updates it breaks things again.
I also want to address something else here. It's not like I'm making a living
off of this. I do own a computer store and I do websites for a living.
However I'm not selling systems with mandrake on them and not giving back to
mandrake. As a matter of fact I don't even sell systems with mandrake on
them. I'm in a small college town and anybody that knows about linux gets it
for themselves for the most part. My customers or at least 99% of them don't
even know about linux.
So I'm offering to help as I have done in the past. It really concerns me that
these type of updates can get by Q&A no offense to Vincent Dannen (he is a
great guy) Really here I would just like mandrake to be the best it can be
and it really disturbs me that not one thing has been said about this email.
I really cant believe that I may finally have to support another distro.
Please Please Listen to what I am saying here. These are the exact reasons why
corporate America is not coming to mandrake but instead to redhat or suse as
much as that pains me. I talk mandrake up all the time to all kinds of
people. I push it for any server related project I work on. When I do I back
mandrake with a purchase of mandrake. I want this distro to be the best. I
even backed you all through the recent money problems. I completely
understand what happened and am truly sorry that the past management did what
they did. I even talked to C. Mollinar about this.
Ok last thought please let the last few of us loyal supporters help when we
ask to help. I really don't want to have to fork mandrake to get a usable
project.
Thanks for the time.
