I'm content to have Mandrake focus on it's own problems and let the
big'uns duke it out.

What peeves me is that IBM bailed SUSE linux out of the hole with
millions of dollars, and here Mandrake sat needing only a measly million
or so, and got passed over. Crazy. Such a waste.
More to their decision then just user opinion. I can understand your
scepticism, but mandrake really doesn't have the best financial track
record. And with the vultures circling IBM doesn't need a bad
investment.
I think Mandrake is superior to SUSE linux, and IBM could have saved
alot of money by investing in them, plus got a better product to boot.
Again, value of a product is in the eye of the beholder. SuSE's
enterprise lineup is superior to Linux Mandrake's.
Not according to:

IBM doesn't view
Mandrake as a serious contender in their markets of interest, at least
in contrast to Red Hat and SuSE.
