Don't worry: working XFree4.0 are alrady in Mandrake-Cooker and most of them work very well. So wait for the next Mandrake! (when?)

That's funny from you to hear that since you have been catched by RedHat after having worked for Mandrake (do they pay more at RH?)(and introduced many bugs with your PGCC kernel optimizations). RedHat is arrogant because it considers itself as the only Linux distribution. However, don't forget that RedHat, as well as any other Linux distributions, is 99% made from the community work, so saying that Mandrake is taking ideas from RH is a good joke.

That's really really funny: most of those features have been in Mandrake since... 6.1!!! And I don't speak about Mandrake 7.0 which is a real killer...

Yes sure! RedHat has started releasing beta just after Mandrake-Linux has decided to do so... Exactly the same for ISO9660 images of the distribution... There are other example which show that RedHat takes many many ideas from Mandrake - that's really funny: Goliath-Arrogant-RedHat with $$$ can't have as many ideas as the little David-Innovative-Mandrake with no money (well... not sure of that: does someone know if they have money and/or if they plan an IPO???)
There is another incredible story, made by Duval himself, which has been published on Linux Weekly News last week. It describes how he came to make a Linux distribution... English not perfect but worth a read for all of you interested in Mandrake!
" Mandrake (which is pure Red Hat at the core) " doesn't mean anything: all Linux core distributions are... Linux kernel itself ! Red Hat components comme 99% times from the open-source community, in Mandrake it's the same... Ok Mandrake _used to_ be based on Red Hat, but this is finished: they just have kept compatibility (this means that most time you can install a RPM made for Red Hat in Mandrake), but Mandrake is not based on RH anymore, and I'm very very happy with that: Mandrake is the real place for innovation - they don't claim it, they just do it!

No... they just _act_ as if they are!

yes... I think it's time: Red Hat, Debian and SuSE have had their own logo in Slashot... Why not a cool Mandrake logo too??? It's great!
Those packages are made for Mandrake but should work for Red Hat too... I've found lynx_ssl, mod_ssl, pgp, open_ssl and ssh!!!
