I agree.. Mandrake 10.1 was more trouble than worth.. Actually I'd say lose Mnadrake altogether and use Ubuntu.. I use Ubuntu (Warty) nowdays (Especially after I got a broadband connection).. And for what my opinion is worth, I totally have gotten used to the simplification and the ease of use (Maybe it's Ubuntu, maybe it's Gnome, I dunno).. And Synaptic is such a huge improvement over Kpackage.. Fully recommended.. I still have some Ubuntu warty CD's left over if anyone wants them, though people should probably use Hoary nowdays.. - AJ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
