Review of Linux Mandrake 9.0

CoolCat writes "It seems that Mandrake 9.0 has been surpassed or at least catched up by the latest versions of Red Hat and SuSE. OSNews has the review of the new Mandrake version and they have hit a number of bugs and problems. In fact, a number of Mandrake users in the OSNews comment's section agree that this release has been buggy and not a big step from version 8.2 or their competition. I use Mandrake for years and I really hope that the next version will bring us back the good ol' Mandrake we knew..."

"I am Greek and english is not my native language. We do OSNews for fun (however, OSNews takes most of my time every day), so if you have a problem with my spelling and grammar either a) do not come back (spare us and save your time too) b) send me a proofread version of the article in question.
Whining about something I can't radically improve overnight, is not an option."

yes, actually, it is. the grammar and spelling of this article is atrocious, even by Slashdot standards. i have the option to complain when someone is serving as Editor-in-Chief of a news publication and berates anyone with criticism in advance. there's a difference between the quality requirements of a blog like Slashdot and an article published in a magazine. if you expect anyone to take you seriously, you need to speak english with a modicum of skill. take a look at newsweek, time, the washington post, and zdnet for examples.

the result is that no one takes OS News seriously. this 'article' was just a nit-picking flame without any attempt at pyramid-style organization, introduction, conclusion, structured thought process, or any other semblance of journalism basics. if this is all we have, as a community, then that's just sad.
