apt-get is one of the coolest things I've ever seen and reason enough to run 
Debian. I'm sticking with Mandrake 8.1 right now because I just couldn't get 
my sound card working with Woody and I have to do some mixing and editing for 
a little project right now. As soon as I buy a bigger harddrive, I'm going to 
dual-boot.
