Besides from this being a vague and extremely unpolite statement that
IMO should not be posted on a list having the word 'polite' in ite policy
I wonder what exactly you wanted to express: having run several different
releases of Mandrake Linux in the past I never got the impression you
wrote but for me it was a well-maintained Distro with its strengths and
its weeknesses - similar to the other ones.

So please be fair and either specify exactly what you mean or stop making
such statements - in any case please try to be more polite: there are
lots of people who worked hard to make the Mandrake distros and IMO it is
not OK to titulate their work the way you did.

Cheers,
Karl-Heinz
