Not to mention the idiotic behaviour of HWS[1]-Linux 9.0 when I tried to
install it for a newbie friend who insisted that he wanted HWS.... The
installer refused outright to let me have /root on a separate partition,
claiming that it *had* to be a subdirectory of /. Since when????

I've also been spammed by Mandrakesoft so that rules them out (a
spokescritter of theirs claimed I opted in but fell silent when I asked for
a copy of my confirmation e-mail complete with headers or the extract of
their web log with my IP address).
