New Linux.Ars -- 9:59 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

The more penguin-oriented folks at Ars Technica have posted their latest version of Linux.Ars. This time they talk about the much-maligned Mandrake 9.2, fun with vi (I know Qbe would enjoy that one), and a brief review of Crossover Office. Check it out!

The problems they note with Mandrake tell you why I'm now running Slackware instead. I've had stability issues with every version of Mandrake I've ever run. Having 300M worth of patches already on a new release of a distro is simply and utterly unacceptable. The CD-ROM problem is LG's fault, but I question adding such a bleeding edge kernel patch into a production distro. Oh well. Slack's been rock solid for me.
