Linux-Mandrake 6.0 was actually my intro to Linux. Lots and lots of memories.
Still absolutely love this clunky aesthetic.
Interestingly, the old website is still up. Last post, 1999.

I started with Mandrake, I think 8.0, in 2001. I just looked at that website a few weeks ago and something is off. If I remember correctly, there were updates to the site in that year. I wonder if this is a snapshot that somebody re-uploaded?
edit: looks like maybe the website I remember was mandrakesoft.com -> https://web.archive.org/web/20010429194424/http://www.mandrakesoft.com/
