To second that, every time I think I've grown up and moved beyond Mandrake, I come back. MDK 9 really impressed me by configuring good menus for all window managers for one. I run mostly SuSE w/ IceWM and their menus were anemic. Of course I hacked up MDK's menu first thing, but it was nice to simply move and delete stuff rather than having to add everything searching for icons.
I don't know if RH does this as I was less than impressed by RH 7.3 I like config tools like YaST and the MDK control center. I don't mind screwing w/ config files on my server, but my desktop should be simple and productive. Don On 30 Sep 2002, Eric Hattemer wrote: > I agree 100%. Mandrake 9 is sweet.
