Well, I've had several takers on Mandrake, which I'm actually fairly
familiar with since I used to run it on my machine here at work before
Yellow Dog.

One quick question: Does Mandrake offer an update mechanism that would
allow me to "update" the entire system to a more recent build, or am I
better off finding someone who has 9 and seeking a copy?

Thanks!
