i'm not going to say much about calling names, but i believe that mandrake
has a hired staff... its a buisness. if you dont respond to the people you
provide your service to, then they will quit using your service...

why do people keep comparing linux to microsoft. i think that is the wrong
attitude to take. the only thing linux and windows have in common is that
they are both /considered/ operating systems by the vast majority of
world. the entire idiology behind linux is different.
we shouldn't base the speed of linux fixes on the speed of ms fixes. if ms
got a faster would the linux community? i doubt it..
i do however see al's point. they should fix what they currently have
befor building on it.
just some thoughts.
