How about putting together a "migrating to Mandrake" tip sheet for the LUG. Are there any oddities? What is the supported method to keep Mandrake up to date? Does it support yum, or something like that? What else can I expect moving from RH 9 to Mandrake 9.x? I read something on slashdot about Mandrake having screen-saver based adverts? Is this the case? I'll happily continue to pay a reasonable price for boxed set software if the price is reasonable but I don't want adverts on my screen.
I'm reading the RH threads regarding Fedora/RH 10/whatever it is and what I'm reading, I think, is "core" upgrades every four months or do and the actual software will be supported for between six and nine months. That's not going to work for me.
Looking for options,
Greg
Or better yet, support TriLUG, use Mandrake. ;-)
