Mandrakesoft in the Press

Roger Mier writes: Last month I decided to switch from Windows to Linux full-time. My reasons were many, but it really gets down to two things: Windows wasn't working for me the way I wanted it to, and after testing out Mandrake 10 on my server box, I decided that if any distro was ready for the desktop, it was Mandrakelinux 10.
