I have been asking myself this question for quite some time. I try to install the critical packages (those running as service or being invoked quite frequently, like evolution) using the developers packages and not those one coming in the distro CDs. This way, when a security vulnerability is fixed I just upgrade without waiting for Mandrake to build their own version of the package, which BTW they do pretty fast. Adolfo P.S. Sorry if this mail goes in HTML format. Using lookout express temporarily.
