I haven't tried Mandrake 9.0, and I would like to hear from somebody who did. It sound like the "reviewer" actually reviewed the Mandrake's press-release, not the system itself. I don't see any point in publishing such "reviews" on LWN.

Did you try Mandrake 9.0? Did they remove the "About KDE" menu? I think that's the biggest issue with Red Hat, and I hope that Mandrake did it right.

Removing "About KDE" is not giving credit where it's due. If not the KDE project, KDE software would not be written. Red Hat should not obscure the fact that programs such as Konqueror were written by KDE enthusiasts.
