Right, my main thing is to get a feel of Mandrake. By using the newest beta i can get a feel of how the 8.2 final will be before buying it. Makes complete sense about the update utility for beta's, Cooker is much like RH's rawhide right? The current version of the distro as it is worked on, from what I saw from the mandrake website. But once you get to a final distro is rsync what they use for keeping things in sync? > Oh, yeah: Not all of us have high speed access -- so not being able to get > 100KB/S doesn't seem like the end of the world to us.

Now when I go home its like, "wow, I can't believe I used to use this!" But hey, they use Solaris. :-) -Brandon p.s. Thanks for the kind and informative answers. On the Red Hat list it seems whenever someone says, "I'm coming from such and such a distribution..." they first bash that distro then say why RH is *better*. Nice not to see that here. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
