Linux Mandrake 9.0

Greetings,

Has anyone installed Mandrake 9.0?

If so, did you have any problems?

What are the pros and cons?

Eric,

I had SERIOUS problems with the fact that it did not write a proper boot sector to its partition - nothing exept GRUB could boot it... A million reinstalls afterwards, i found the tiny checkbox that allows BeBootMan to boot it...


and its SLOW, but still faster than RH, IMHO
