Several of our Developers (including me) use Debian testing so that distro
(and probably Mandrake as well) should be okay for you.  However, now I have
thought about what you have said some more, I realize my comment above has
an important qualifier which I failed to state.  Antialiasing must be off in
the postscript viewer (e.g., gv) to get good looking plots on the screen. Is
that the problem you refer to here? Try turning antialiasing off in the
postscript viewer to see whether the problem you are referring to goes away.
