Vincent, Um...what good features would those be? you mean not having to reboot everytime one of the eh-hem...programs leaks so bad it stuffs the entire system, or explorer craps out and takes down the entire system. pa-Lease! I've been throwing everything thing I can think of and some things I've thought of myself that I'm rather proud of and I've only been able to totally freeze my Mandrake desktop bad enough that I had to do a hardboot all of two times. I've been running Mandrake since 7.0. ( now running Mandrake 9.0 ) strongest, most well thought out and best put together OS I"ve ever seen, and I've seen a few. In my experience you've got to try pretty damn hard to break Mandrake linux. For getting work done there's just no comparison between windows and Linux. the two of them don't even belong in the same breath let alone in the same ball park. and I'm not bashing windows just for the sake of it. My workstation at work dual boots win2K and Mandrake Linux. While I hacking out code for something at work I'm running Mandrake. My boss runs win98...he has to reboot sometimes 3-4 times...I just keep working. If I wouldn'tn have to interact with the accounting system I wouldn't have to boot back into windows at all. -- Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Powered By Mandrake Liinux 9.0 || Toshiba Portege ICQ# 27816299 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saying Open Source DRM is the same as saying Military Intelligence.
