I agree. Mandrake is a great product in my mind, and they have to eat too. Besides, how many mandrake users actually keep the default bookmarks, screensaver, and homepage anyway? I certainly do not.
You must consider that Mandrake has managed to partailly unify the desktop without completly destroying the work of the developers. When I began to look for a distro to use I tried RH9 and found it to be a poor hack of others' work. Just because Mandrake has more than one tool to do the job does not mean that it is a poorly constructed distro. I am given the choice of which program I want to use for the job. I do not have to worry about stupid things like Galeon comming up to open webpages by default even when I am in KDE. You must not really understand what the normal linux user wants if you assume that 'polish' as you call it is more important than choice. Its easy to insult the work of somebody else. Why don't you try to just say what you would like instead of ripping on what others have decided upon.
