A Galaxy of Possibility: Mandrake 9.1 ProSuite

uninet writes "Our last consideration of Mandrake Linux was early this year when my colleague Eduardo Sanchez thoroughly reviewed Mandrake 9.0. In that review, Sanchez noted the numerous advances made in 9.0, but also reported some serious flaws that somewhat limited his enthusiasm. With that considered, we were anxious to find out if 9.1 could again return Mandrake to the amazing quality achieved in release 8.2. See what we found (including a look at features exclusive to the ProSuite edition)."

I won't use Mandrake

But... if someone wants to make a fork, call it Womandrake, and includes lots of hot chicks throughout, I'll be there in a minute.

[God! Awful 2]

Hmm... makes sense. And then, instead of Mandake ProSuite, we can have Womandrake ProStitute.

(That's how I read it as I was scrolling past anyway.)

Though its not called Womandrake, it does come with porn-get instead of RPM.

Sadly, Lesbian GNU/Linux appears to be a hoax, like mslinux and Jesux. It is too bad. I think the porn-get is something that could be worked on. There are some apps in sourceforge to help get porn, but really this is something that has not been properly refined. I think it would be neat to work on some Free Software that grabs Free Porn from the net and maybe even displays it or launches the requisite apps. It shoudl be cross-platform, too.

Just think, if Joe Sixpack downloads this easy porn getter software from C|net for his XP box, and sees it is Free Software with a GPL License and works on Linux, he gets introduced to these concepts and maybe when he is done looking at porn he will check them out, too. Unless he just takes a nap. ;)

I'm glad we have such a professional Sweet of software availiable to the users. This is so Suite!

Where's the beef?!

[wfberg]

Eduardo Sanchez will return to provide another thorough review of the base Mandrake Linux system. His review will consider, in depth, installation, administration, usage, and performance of Mandrake Linux 9.1.

OK. So there IS no beef? I thought that was supposed to be a spoon.

(Wasted another good, what, 3 minutes of my life RTFA - those kids should take classes and learn about paragraphs, beginnings, middles and endings.)

A serious review?

[Anonymous Coward]

Of particular interest is the DVD-ROM that is included, something that makes deploying Mandrake much more of a joy, as it gives blow jobs during the process.

And we are supposed to regard this as a serious review by someone whose title is "Editor in Chief"?

Perhaps the rest of the review was meaningful, but after reading the above three times to make sure that it really did say what I thought it said, I didn't see much point in reading any more of the review.

Re:eeek

[VisorGuy]

Maybe that's why it comes with 8 CDs as well as the DVD?

Um...

[Anonymous Coward]

Anyone else read that as:
"A Galaxy of Possibility: Mandrake 9.1 ProStitute"
Had to do a double take...

prostitute

[gears5665]

am I the only one that thinks "Prosuite" looks way too much like "Prostitute"?

Re:prostitute

[Goldberg's Pants]

Yes.

Isn't that, oh I donno, really freakin' dangerous? :)
