6:23 AM EST 		I'm just cringing at the thought of a blend of volatile sudamericanos and stubbornly "independent" frenchmen. (-:

Tux Miranda!!! That's it!!

UNIVAC/Burroughs became UNISYS.. can't find a hint there, tho... the merged company paid a Burroughs employee $25K back in the mid-80's for that contribution (a contest).. these two don't HAVE enough employees for a contest!!

5:49 PM EST 		and I am going to Brazil in April

But seriously I agree with AnonymousCoward Franco-Brazilians are hardly diplomatic Here's a situation I've witnessed with one of them, this was at a party in Brazil

"Aaah madame you are but verry beauty-full" "Oh thank you ... " she blushes, "and what do you do?" "Ahh I am a cinema director " - he lies - "and you mademoiselle you have that beauty of a French actress - not Brazilian" he was staring at her clevage "Oh really?" she was fascinated - "How is that?" "Great bossoms - but sadly no bum" he pouts

And I am *not* joking :/

That is only one of the many incidents I've witness with this lot

( I won't tell any more - seriously, they are even more embarrasing than this. *cringe* )

That aside Mandrake = one of the very best distro ever While Conectiva = extremely overpriced for Brazil
