I agree up to a point, and that is some of the things that are broken can be annoying. Like /etc/fstab having a bunch of "none" set for dev so floppy zip and cdrom don't work until you edit the file. Otherwise the look is good and speed seems to noticeably faster. Also, have you figured out what is the problem with Mandrake Control Center, I can set up my internet connection using drakeconnect but not through the control center. Anyhow, this looks like 9.0 will be a real "windows breaker" watch out for falling glass. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
