Actually I wasn't trying to be cyncial at all. :-) To me a public/late beta is exactly what we're getting with the Community Edition. And I'm not saying that it's a bad thing rather it's a good thing. It's a test on a much larger scale than Mandrake would otherwise be able to do and with some of the issues found in 10CE which were resolved by 10OE I'd say it's a very good plan. One that I'm happy to be part of. Now if we could just do something about bittorrent. :-) ttfn John -- *********************************************************** Composed on a 100% Microsoft Free Computer Guaranteed Virus Free Mandrake Linux 10.0 OE Registered Linux User 362316 ***********************************************************
