Ron....why are you arguing about this?! MacMillan plainly,
albeit in a smaller font (but certainly not smaller than the
font you're reading right now) than the 6.5 is printed in, marks
on the front of the box that it is Mandrake 6.1 in the box.
That is EXACTLY what it is. Mandrake 6.1 that is packaged and
supported by MacMillan. The ONLY things MacMillan adds are the
box, the books, their (MacMillan) support, and the content of
the discs other than the main install disc (which contains the
same 6.1 iso image that is available on the web mirrors, on the
official Mandrake 6.1 installation disc and any GPL disc of the
6.1 release). Sheesh!
