However, I sure did not imply everyone should run to Mandrake. The original post was by someone already using it wondering about an upgrade. I use it. Just giving my opinion, and stated as such. As far as Linux failing in general, when I put Ubuntu on the same machine with Mandriva 32 and it was one lockup after another. I do not like using the reset button on a running system or I'd be using windows. The easiest cure was to install Mandrive 64, which works fine. I did not consider Ubuntu's problems a failure of Linux in general, just a distro I'd rather not use. Hope that clears it up.
