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? :) Vox -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs. Kind of like the Amish, except that our religion requires us to use _higher_ technology than everyone else. -- Donald B. Marti Jr.
