#5 is a huge requirement, that mandrake doesn't meet...and yes I believe
it's an extremely important requirement because if developers and
sysadmins aren't going to run Mandrake, it won't receive the support it
needs from the community to become a standard (and a standard is one
reason nobody is switching from Windows to Linux).  I'm not so concerned
that it has all kinds of graphical management tools, but these tools
appear to be somewhat proprietary making it difficult (if not impossible
in some cases) to manage them via commandline if the user wanted to.
