Hello Tom, Just wanted you to know that I *don't* work for Mandrakesoft, neither do I have any business relationship with them. I am an ISP and use linux for a living. RedHat support sucks, Slackware is outdated, Caldera's Closed Linux is not updated fast enough, and Debian is too purist for me. I have chosen Mandrake because it's simply the best distribution I have ever seen. I am helping with Mandrake development because it's my way of having some control over my preferred Linux distribution, and sharing back to the world some of the work I do for my business. I was planning on developing my own distribution, but Mandrake fits 95% of what I need, so I spend my time on the 5% that doesn't fit my needs. If I had enough money, I would sell my ISP business and become a full-time Linux developer. Unfortunately, I have to pay my bills, so I can only spend about 12% of my job on Linux development.
