Mandrake 10

Finally today I tried Mandrake 10 kindly provided to me by Simon!

Last week end I tried fedora core 2 and in the first couple of hours i 
liked it.
Yesterday Evening I met Michael Mais to play with PHPNUKE on his 
Mandrake 10 box. I was very impressed by this distro, better than 9.2 
that i still use on my small server in the office.
So, today I spent 30 minutes to install mandrake 10 on a spare desktop 
at my office.
I know it' s just a matter of personal taste but I'm still in love with 
mandrake and at the end Fedora has not yet conquered my heart.
Maybe is Because I'm familiar with mandrake and KDE.

Great job Mandrake soft!!!

Ciao
