  If they talk to the press, that is. My inquiry to them last week went 
unanswered.

  I am a bit surprised about the lack of Mandrake support, after all, Mandrake 
is the most popular desktop Linux according to most surveys.  I've actually 
deployed several Mandrake desktops in business environments, and so have many 
others:

  The fact that Ximian supported Red Hat didn't suprise me, but not supporting 
Mandrake did (since Mandrake is generally known to be more GNOME friendly 
than SuSE).
