[TriLUG] No More Consumer Red Hat?

[Greg Brown]

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
