Seriously, though, Mandrake is great -- but it has some qualms about older
hardware, apparently. I tried installing the latest version of Mandrake
on some older machines (Compaq P166MHz, Gateway 200MHz PPro) and the installer
crapped out. Slackware and Debian are humming along juuuust fine on 'em.

Mandrake makes a great gamer's distro, though. I got a copy of their gamer's
package w/The Sims, and it's got quite a few decent games (runs Q3A just
fine as well...). I still don't see what people think is so great about
the Sims, though...

Never heard of it, but it seems it's probalby because it's of
little relevance to Linux users. From the page you mention:

 * System Requirements
   Gobe Productive supports Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP.

I briefly looked at their 'Products' page, and didn't find a single 
mentioning of Linux (oh, theiy _do_ mention BeOs. Someone should tell
them BeOS is dead :-/ )
