I must admit that I have been taken by the 'dark-side' too just recently. After only using Debian and lovin' it, I convinced myself to try out the latest Mandrake... So I whipped down to the e-caf and picked up a version of MDK9.1 ... The installation was a piece of the proverbial and the eye-candy... sigh.. makes 'Woody' look a bit drab to say the least... but maybe 'unstable' or 'gentoo' , I wonder whats next...
