Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rock Solid distribution
Review: I've been a Red Hat user for several years. This distribution is ROCK solid. I haven't found anything negative to say about it yet and I've been looking hard.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Forget the techincal support
Review: If you're buying this box for the support or buying support from Mandrake, then forget it. I couldn't even get the installation disk to boot (something to do with Mandrake having problems with a DVD ROM, despite the fact that every other Linux distribution disk I tried worked), and a request for support only led to a rather dense suggestion and then a referral of my problem to "level 3 support". The latter never responded, not once, not to say "your problem is progressing", not even a "your problem is too hard". Of course "level 3 support" is /dev/null.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Beautiful OS but needs work
Review: Linux-Mandrake 7.0 is arcaic now, (Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Linux-Mandrake 8.2 are much better) I couldn't get on the internet with this version. Upside: 7.0 is fast on arcaic computers.

Summary: New Kid on the Block? (relatively) But fairly solid.
Review: Mandrake 7.0 was the first Linux distribution to recognize all of my hardware right out of the box. I've used all of the major distributions -- Mandrake since 6.0. Mandrake has really grown up in 7.0 and is no longer just "RedHat with features". I recommend this to anyone from a user new to Linux to an experience Linux user.
