Wow I guess Mandrake has really lost sight of what Linux is. I have been 
running 7.2 for about two weeks and have lost my Gnome desktop, tried several 
thing to recover that to no avail. I cannot print anymore Cups seems to be 
hosed and I cannot install the update because it is unsigned?(whatever). KDE2 
seems to slow dramaticallyu the longer it is open. If I log out of a window 
Manager Xserver dies and I am dropped to run level 3, maybe thats normal I 
don't know. I wrote to Mandrake about all this and maybe releasing a stable 
version rather than competeing with RedHat for the highest version number. 
Their response and I qoute "We are working on a six month version and 8.0 is 
scheduled for April." Perhaps I should go back to Debian. Being a newbie as I 
am it is better running RH or LM as most literature is written for these 
platforms.
