Hi Neil, I'm curious about your choice of Mandrake Linux. I originally used RedHat, but am now using SuSE, which seems to work fine, although both were a little tricky to install and I wasn't impressed by the level of knowledge of their technical support. I have been thinking of giving Debian a try, to see how the result of the non-commercial distribution model compares. I have not really looked at Mandrake. Have you any comments on the pros and cons when compared to alternative distributions?
