I think the straw that broke my Mandrake days was the fact that the 9.1
install messed up my drive. It had it's day with me, was the first linux
distro I used (frankly because at the time a co-worker reccommended it)
about 2 years back, kinda just stuck with it because of familiarity.

My sentiments as well, actually I'll probably try a couple distros out
though, Slack included. Thankfully the time of my choosing coincided with
the installfest, what luck.

Can't say I'm too thrilled about it either. I remember an episode of
Futurama where they go online with the VR suits, and the first thing Fry
says at "Seeing" the internet was "My God, it's full of Ads!". Then the
droves of Ads start attacking them. Yes, wonderful outlook on the future I say.
