Yo Dave - have you got Mandrake 9.1 yet???

Been trying to ring you, got a question for you, Did you get hold of the Mandrake 9.1 iso's? I've been trying since TUESDAY (I kid not) and still can't get them (Overloaded servers & Mirrors) So if you have them I wouldn't mind burning a copy, time to remember what a REAL OS is like ;) BTW: If you want to see a REAL *REAL* Hard mans OS, go look up the Gentoo Linux distro, by the originator of Mandrake, more purist than Debian - you have to be as hard as nails to use/install, get this: ALL installation included OS install is done from SOURCE! - No binaries for you! Nope, if you want to install something you HAVE to do it from the soource and self-compile, the idea being that EVERYTHING you run is optimized by the compiler for *your* set-up, sounds sweet and tempting, but I gotta get back up to speed first with Mandrake & my 9.0 disk is corrupted :( Catch you later, Alan.

Hey what did you say about Gentoo ? It was made by mandrake ? BSD is a great system to run from scratch ie. seems to run faster than any Linux and also more so if you do not you use the binary's Did you suggest Gentoo is made by Mandrake programmers ? Ya I am press here as I have secrets "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:BGJga.2408$[email hidden]... > > BTW: If you want to see a REAL *REAL* Hard mans OS, go look up theGentoo > > Linux distro, by the originator of Mandrake, more purist than Debian -you
