I too have had pleasant experiences with Mandrake, and not just the 7.0
release. One thing that I would like to add to Peck's comments is the
amazement I had with how easy it was to setup a RAID system w/ Mandrake 7.0.
The install program was amazingly clear and intuitive when it came to slicing
up drives into RAID partitions. Oh, and it all worked near-perfectly the first
time.
