It's still nowhere near as easy as win-blows. The hardest thing is installing
progies (well, for me anyway). Even if they're in RPM and you use Kpack, you
still have to find the damn thing after you get it installed. No instant
desktop icons or anything. No, I think we're still safe in our geek status. What
I find really wonderful about Mandrake 6 is it opens the door for us and gives
us a start point to begin learning an otherwise virtually impossible system.
Yet another two cents worth.
