No, it's as stable as ever.

No, it wasn't me.  Mandrake is my favourite distro and having tried mostly
every other one, I keep drifting back.  Having said that though, I have also
fallen in love with Xandros which is debian based and which incorporates
Codeweavers Crossover.  The simplest Linux install you will ever do.  It
looks and behaves like a traditional Linux distro - not like Lycoris which
looks and behaves like Windows XP.  QuickBooks installs under Xandros but
because MYOB is an Aussie product, Codeweavers have never heard of it.  I am
involved in a 3 way conversation to try and get MYOB installable.  This is
vital to me as I am Qld agent for Xandros and I very much champion the cause
of Linux on the desktop.  I see small business accounting packages as the
last great hurdle for Linux to reach the average person - certainly
everything else is there - MS Office compatibility, scanners, internal
modems, web cams, just about every printer and that's all the _average_ user
wants.  My current new venture will start in June and it will be totally
driven by Linux - just to prove a point.
