The one thing that draws me to Mandrake is the fact that it is more geared toward the desktop. I truly believe that the future of linux depends on getting the common person to use it instead of windows and most people use a desktop and do not have a server. As far as I am concerned Mandrake makes a nice server too. If you have 20 servers in your system, why not switch to the new corporate server just released?
