I recommended Mandrake to my Uncle.  He WUUUUVVVVVS it.  The last time
I used it I didn't like the GUI configurators.  I guess I'm too much
of a touchy-feely kinda guy with the text files to really get much out
of it anymore.

Oh, then there's the whole RPM-based thingie that I abhor.

Yeah, one of the best reasons to use linux. ;)
