If someone had warnned me to expect, or, at least not be disappointed if I
experienced installation and hardware problems I would not have been
expecting a no-brainer install, and I would not have been overly frustrated
at the resulting mess I made for myself. However, everything I read

Compared to Unix in terms of actual age Mandrake is still in the womb but
it gets stronger and bolder and improves with every new release. Perhaps

written in such a way that it does not deter a newbie from trying our GUI.
We need to proclaim our Mandrake Expert list is the best and is where the
answers to perplexing questions are found.
