bringing up all sorts of cross-distribution questions. So, how many people here are using Mandrake as a server vs as a desktop? The general impression seems to be that Mandrake is mainly a desktop OS, which is only used as a server in SOHO environments.
I actually kinda disagree with that,
Perth has dozens of small business servers (biggest company has 40 employees)
All of them are mandrake, non are 9.2 (yet) but that might change sometime soon when I am happy with it.
(servers are 7.2 mostly, but some 8.1/8.2/9.0 machines also, but the 7.2 machines have been moved away from the internet.)
All of them have been getting uptimes over 100 days (by which time I've had to restart them for a kernel upgrade or something)..
USing mandrake as a server, amounts to little more then the kernel, related networking undergear, and whatever server app/apps you choose..
For that purpose, mandrake is as good as most anything else out there. and better then some.
Also ADVX has been showing up on a couple of hundred thousand web servers, they can't all be SOHO.
