Hi,

thanks to you all for the answers. It seems that I am the only one using Mandrake.  2.5 years ago, when I was about to install Linux, I read many articles about the distributions. An most of the articles said (briefly resumed),  Suse was the most widely used in Germany. Mandrake in France, and Red Hat (new name : fedora? ) in USA. And all 3 distributions are very good. Debian was not so easy to install for beginners but the most powerfull.

With Suse, you get a good service for your money: about 100euro for a pack, and 2DVD and CD-roms plenty of sotware. But (is that true) if you want to install other software (that is not include in the pack), it will be very difficult? And that there are not very much Suse-software developped and proposed for download, I mean Software that was developped by an amateur not directly working for Suse ?

I am asking, because Mandrake or even Fedora, Debian, I find lots of software on the net for download.

 

 

So, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
