Why is mandrake out? download all three 3 ISOs and you get the full kit
including source code. URPMI is superb(its the one thing I miss on SuSE. )
MDK is good for complete newbies, although they tend to tweak'some config
source file locations. Suse s quite nice but I do miss urpmi. Redhat
seemed to be a bit behind the times, Slackware seems like hard work,
Gentoo similar.
