Being a Mandrake user for several years, I am happy to see that they overcame their financial difficulties and are in a position to expand.
Apart from the botched 9.2 upgrade debacle, they have a distro that I can use for a Linux home network without spending too much time on it. I have four machines running Linux at home, and don't want to spend a lot of time on each configuring it.
They are also familiar and friendly enough for my kids to use it as their only desktop. They get to play their MP3, use FireFox or Konqueror, use Open Office for homework,...etc.
Moreover, it is also perfectly good as a server for LAMP, Samba,...etc.
People are still souping up their cars, and people still buy new hardware (and software, even!) to modify their computers! Wow, what a newsworthy article!

Go Mandrake!
Perhaps this is the final solution
I'm shocked and appalled that you refer to such a dark point in history when trying to make a point about web browsers.

The guy who wrote the article is named bukkake and he posts about "backyard observatories." I think this is a troll article.
