[ale] Mandrake 'bugs?'

[Gary Maltzen]

I'm unfamiliar with OpenBSD and am curious about a couple of points...

1) How is OpenBSD more 'graceful' in handling multiple cd-rom drives?
   (I'll be the first to admit it took some digging to understand how
    to use all 5 slots of my 5-disc Nakamichi CD-ROM drive and there
    is some frustration in not being able to automatically switch 
    between discs)

2) The 'dumb penguin' login screen is just /etc/issue

3) Is it even possible to include 'ssh' in a distribution, given the
   various cryptography laws of different nations?

* you don't support machines with multiple cd-rom drives gracefully.  Of
course, neither does RH, so that's not unexpected.  But on the other hand,
even OpenBSD supports that, and it's got hands-down the least friendly Unix
install I've seen this decade ;-).

* That ascii penguin login screen is pretty damn ugly.  You should make it
optional ;-).

* Please include sudo, ssh, etc.
