I remember buying the official edition of Mandrake 10.0, while my previous experience was only with Slackware. It was so easy to install that I completely stopped using Windows, ever since.

Truth is though, that for me it died right about when it became Mandriva and Ubuntu was the new shinny distro, that wasn't only easy to install but it'd sent the disks right to your home.

Rip Mandrake and thanks.
