Hallo,

I have Mandrake 9.2 installed now, and except for the upgrade to GTK2 it
is mostly a downgrade (from Mandrake 8.2.)
If I am to downgrade even further and wipe a working system, I would
like the following to runable:
1) A working gcc/emacs combination.
2) A working mail/usenet/www combination.
3) A working TeX/LaTeX/LyX combination (Not required.)
Mmmm ...
4) This machine works both as a firewall and a shared conection without
me knowing so very much about how to do. The "audience" would like to
keep it that way.
Can I get all of this? And have a realtime working ALSA too?
To reiterate the question: SuSE 9.0 or Mandrake 10.0?

A point list of bad things:
- For audio work the bundled 2.6 kernel is not good enough.
This depends on the kind of audio work you do. I can do all I want
reliably with 2.6 since I installed 2.6.3 the first time. I don't
record 12 channel audio, though. But it's oversimplifying to say, that
2.6 isn't good enough "for audio work". It's very good and almost
perfect for many kinds of audio work.
