RE: Memories
I still mourn Mandrake. It was a great product and viable revenue stream concept in my opinion. The problem was nobody wanted to pay for the support. Funny how Red Hat managed it.

I used Mandrake early on in my Linux life. Drifted to others and eventually Ubuntu
/me tells @steevc to get his kit off and start walking while I ring a bell and monotonously call out "SHAME!" :-D
I was fond of it too. I even paid a small monthly subscription to support it. But not many did. Would have been fine if the French Government had thrown out Microsoft and had used Mandrake instead. I remember hoping for that.
Then things went downhill and I just kept tagging along, until it dropped out and became this small grassroot distro that is eternally after it's schedule. But I am using it now, and it works for me and my family.
