  Since it seems like comparisons with debian are in vogue lately in
  the mdk community, here goes another one :)

  cooker = unstable
  mandrake linux = testing
  corporate server = stable

  With cooker you are in the bleeding edge and hunt the bugs. Changes hourly.
  With mandrake linux, you get a very usable system for all desktops
  and small servers, and get to hunt the non-critical bugs
  left. Changes every 6 months, bugfixes between.
  With corporate server you get the rock-stable box for a monster
  critical server, no/extremely few bugs. Change every couple of
  years, bugfixes between.

  What do you think about that? :)
