I don't know where you get the idea that Mandrakelinux isn't a "modern", 
distro, but you're wrong.

Sure, Firefox is a fine browser, no doubt about it. But the hype 
surrounding it will die off sooner or later. We really should consider

GNOME-integrated, HIG compliant and translation-consistent browser.
