Mandrake download edition is 3 CDs with no SRPMs. Mandrake Powerpack has
7 CDs including SRPMS and some apps missing from the download edition.
With either you'll need to download updates after installation, just as
with any other cutting edge distro. There are a couple significant
things about Mandrake and SuSE I like better than Fedora (HPFS support
built in by default, and NUMLOCK by default), but I use all three.
