[CLUE-Talk] Mandrake news

[Robert Davis]

Keith, I used 8.1, 8.2 & 9.0 and think it's great. I think Mandrake is a 
little more cutting edge and easy to configure but I love apt-get and 
synaptic (gui front-end). Extremely easy to add/remove pkgs.and just as 
easy to upgrade the entire distro by modifying the apt-get sources list. 
They run three flavors: stable (woody), testing (sarge) and unstable 
(sid). The base version furnished with Libranet is stable but most of my 
peers run testing with no problems.

Can't say one is better than the other, I'm just learning a little more 
by exploring the Debian world. Plan to purchase Libranet 2.8 when it 
comes out around the end of the month. Their mailing list is wonderful 
(just like this CLUE list):  libranet-users at libranet.com

Don't mean to sound like a commercial but I'm very satisfied.
