David,

I am not sure what file-storage you are referring to! ACS file-storage or the problem that RH had with the Promise IDE bus?

As far as I know (I haven't downloaded 7.1) the promise bug was fixed. The other file system problems were taken care of in the kernel and the ReiserFS guys seem to think that all is stable (and I trust their judgement). I couldn't find a mirror that had an ISO image to download and try last night.

Also, Mandrake 8 is coming out any day now, although 7.2 was probably one of the worst releases I have ever seen, there is some hope for 8.0.

After living with RH and Mandrake for some time now, I tend to prefer RH's approach. I did convince Mandrake to get rid of that security flaw they call Zope, but they still insist on a 4 CD installation with CUPS and MySQL and other crap that I just have to spend 2-3 hours removing.
