Yeah, most of the components still seem to be a release behind.  One of the 
bitches about Mandrake is that they take a while to get the updates out, and 
unless Mandrake packages them a lot of projects don't have a Mandrake 
specific rpm.

Then there are the drivers....  New Asus motherboard (A7N8X-X) has Linux 
drivers, but only for SuSE and RedHat, and the RedHat versions don't want to 
compile on Mandrake.
