United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join

[Matthew Carpenter]

Sorry.  I guess that's coming from the fact that I haven't kept up lately.  I didn't realize MDK was separate from RH, nor did I realize that I wasn't still tied to the barrel by choosing COL...  I guess I got so used to rolling my own RPM's since CheckInstall came out that I never thought to try anything else.  On the same note, I just recently was having troubles with my favorite Audio editor, Audacity, and when I followed the request of the developer to install their RPM's, everything worked.  I thought I got off easy, seeing as I had forgotten the goat and my sacrificial blade was extra dull anyway.  So you're saying that on COL311, I should be able to run most current RPM's?  Woo Hoo!  I thought Heaven was waiting for me to die!

Thanks, Llama.  You made my day!
