Mandrake has a lot of catching up to do in being as lousy an operating system as Windows 2000 (wife has it on her machine, support it 40 hours each week, it sucks). A lot of stuff is coming out daily about XP also (which is why I am not suggesting wife "upgrade" to it). I fear that Mandrake may catch up, however, I actually installed SuSE 7.3 one one of my (ex)Mandrake boxen and am tempted to do the other. Literally everything I was complaining about Mandrake breaking between 7.2 and 8.0 workes on SuSE 7.3. Waiting for Mandrake 8.2, though; Mandrake is still more friendly and intuitive.
