There's more than just that, of course.  I got the 6.2 CD's from Cheapbytes
this week, and "upgraded" my home system that was running Mandrake 6.1.  
They've
omitted a lot of stuff that Mandrake has.

But, what's most disappointing is that they still are distributing the
2.91.66 version of g++, which has what I consider to be a serious bug in 
the optimizer (since it broke code that I wrote!).  The 7.0 version of 
Mandrake as the 2.95.2 version of g++, which has the optimizer bug fixed.
