As somebody else said, I would choose SuSE. When I was looking for a replacement last year for the Caldera systems we've been using since 1995 or so, I looked seriously at Mandrake. I didn't like the looks of their finances at the time (why go from one bankrupt distro to another :-), and the best comment I saw was sombody who said ``Don't worry. the French government will take over if Mandrake fails''. The last thing I want to do is deal with a bureaucracy that's probably worse even than the one that runs this country.
