    Don't say that. The world's most popular distribution supports both, and that will not change anytime soon.
    KDE and GNOME each have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and unless one of them really manages to catch up with the others (and provides compatibility), there's definitely good reason to have both.

  2. Security by redhog · · Score: 4

    You forget that Mandrake (At least 7.0) does come with a range of security levels, which you could shoose from from the installer. When I switched from RedHat 6.0 to Mandrake 7.0, and selected the highest security level, I (And I am not a security professional, I'm just a programmer)noticed several security fixes and things done in another and better way than in RedHat 6.0. Perheaps RH61 is better, I don't know. But Mandrake has done at least partly right when it comes to security.
