[wplug] Mandrake 8.0

[David G Matthews]

Ok, another stupid question about Mandrake 8.0:
I had heard that previous versions of Mandrake were easy to break by
compiling a lot of stuff from source.  (Dependency database?)  Has this
been solved by 8.0?  I'm curious about Mandrake but can't use it if it
doesn't like non-rpm software, because a lot of the stuff I use is only
availabe in source.
