I've been using Fedora Core2 and Mandrake is way faster! but i'm having trouble when try to update the system. I go to UPDATE SYSTEM, then the system ask me for an URL (from a list), but it returns me an error (can't recover the new packages list, the repository is miss configured or something like this). I tried with all URL in the list but always happens the same. Is there something like Synaptic (i used to use it) in Mandrake? THANKS esantos

If you upgrade to an Official edition (by d/ling the cds), the updates link should work again.
