I've been MS free for more than 2 years now..., thanks for the tip! Also there's these: - nessus win client - some free vpn client (?) - netadmin (mysql client http://www.it-netservice.de) - securecrt (?) - total commander + plugins > In short we would fill one CD very quickly.

That was what I meant, it could be on cd8 or on the dvd and only for the commercial mandrake release. This would be great! I guess there are many more applications like these for interactions between win32 and linux. It's possible, mandrake is allready a cd distributor, so why not?
