If you want to read REAL bad mouthing of the MandrakeSoft company you don't have to go that far away. Just read the Mandrake newsgroup. I don't think you can gather more FUD anywhere else. And for the "Journalists": Which journalists? I think most of these online platforms are mere places to get your opinion read by some other who will post a controversal (?) opinion and off it goes. May be there are some ppl working for those sites as regular writers but I wouldn't regard them as "journalists". wobo -- Registered Linux User 228909 Powered By Mandrake Linux 8.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- PDAs?
