It is the same as if any American radio or tv would broadcast pro-nazi stuff through satelites or directly in long-waves. It wouldn't be accepted at all here and involved Americans companies or US governement would be asked to stop that.
I think US citizens won't have nothing to say about nuclear testing in the Pacific (that don't happen anymore by the way) while they still apply death penalty in many of its states and will soon have a new predident that is in particular the governor of one of the most criminal american state.
You can calm down: you are not related to that story. French people - and only them - couldn't connect anymore to Yahoo auctions that sell pro-nazi stuff. It's illegal here in France, that's the reason why some solutions must be found. It's the same thing as for pedophily: if a US website was selling pedophily stuff, there would be a lawsuit to prevent that from being seen by French people. You - American people - can hardly understand how bad Nazism was for France, Europe and more generally for the whole world, so please think a bit before posting aggressive stuff against French people.
Surprising to see that they only choose Red Hat, Caldera and SuSE. There are other distributions out there. In particular, Debian would benefit much from such a publication since it's not very easy to get into. On the other hand, it seems normal for Mandrake which doesn't need such a book since it's very easier to use than the other Linux distros!!;-)
Still some FUD! "Can't be any worse than Red Hat 7.0,"
About that, there is an interesting article that tries to explain the truth about the so called "numerous" bugs in RH 7.0. The funny point is that it's apparently been written by the Mandrakesoft folks! Read:

[by the way, Mandrake 7.2 is coming along - start flame: potentially better than SuSE 7.0 ???:-)))]
Not a big issue since there is Mandrake for Sparc

Red Hat Abandons Sparc

Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is available for several weeks under the name "Corporate Server 1.0" for Sparc and UltraSparc. This is the most amazing version of Linux running on UltraSparc that I have ever seen... You feel like having a playstation on your Sun and I've ran it for weeks without any glitch: very very stable indeed. There were only a few things were a bit buggy in the configuration.
I've read recently that Linux-Mandrake has overpassed Red Hat, at least in retail sales for the USA... I can't retrieve all the informations, but there is still this PR on the Mandrake website... http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/pr-numberone.php3 [why Slashdot doesn't advertise this kind of infos? they're just... hot!]
By the way, does anyone here has the latest figures from PC-Data?
(...)We will never want KDE to extinguish GNOME, or the opposite to happen. We
want all the advantages of BOTH of those wonderful environments, and to keep
alive the potential for even more. And we want this for all free major components.
With this spirit, let's all take Free Software even further and higher without being
distracted by yesterday's money makers who don't understand what freedom is
about.

What do you think? :-)

And fuck the americans as well, in their small no-thinking brain.
I think you'd better write "most popular in Germany" because here in Europe we mostly see Red Hat and Mandrake.
Seems they are alone in that case! (they have announced they joinded GNOME Foundation yesterday!)... Well done!

Mandrake is NOT Red Hat based.

Would be worth a post on Slashdot by the way!
Read this excellent essay article on OsOpinion "call for cease-fire in the KDE-Gnome war": http://osopinion.com/Opinions/GaelDuval/GaelDuval1 .html
I could only agree with that!
Why neither Mandrake nor Red Hat are mentionned in the PR!? Are there any RPMS available for Mandrake? Where can I find them???
