Free Beer and Free Speech. Requires more work in some areas and less in
others.

The money paid to Mandrake is well spent on the installer and success rate on
_many_ different systems and it's more out-of-the-box friendly to peripheral
gizmos. The short time I spent on Mandrake was extremely positive until I
got to updating and upgrading which is where Debian leads the pack. I gather
from comments on this list that the update/upgrade process is managable now.
(Is it fee based?)
If you spend much time hacking the init scripts (process ID 1) then you might
see major differences between RH and Mdk. Sys V init <> Sys V init in
different distros.

Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
