The Club members and orders AFAIK, are ready. But the Download version 
probably will not hit the mirrors for a few weeks to a month or two.

Ok, I will go back to using Mandrake on my primary partition.

Once you neglect the other one is when you find out the one you neglected 
isn't for you, so stick with the one you didn't neglect :-)

Well it's not thinking too far ahead, it's a goal you can work towards. The 
object is to get a working distro for everyday use and do your projects such 
as the one above on a seperate partition or computer. This way you have a 
working distro for your everyday use and if something goes wrong with your 
projects, it doesn't set you back.
