Frankly, I think the most appropriate public forum for discussing
Mandrake's alleged sins is some Mandrake list.
I'd rather Red Hat concentrated on keeping its own house on order. I am
running a Mandrake BIND rpm on my Red Hat system because the Mandrake RPM
contains a security fix some thought important but which Red Hat Software
still has not released, despite headed discussion about it on this list at
the time.
Red Hat Software offered no reason for not releasing it afaicr.
Now, can we go back to RED HAT please.
