Sorry, but this characterisation is wrong. There's some trivial bugs currently; there's also some that ought to delay the distribution on their own. See the bug which means anyone who has a PPP connection and tries to activate Mandrake's own firewall will lose their internet connection with no explanation...which has been marked as WONTFIX. This is NOT a spelling mistake or wrong titlebar colour. -- adamw
