Well, first of all I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 that runs Mandrake 8.2 great. I plan to convert it to 9.0 over the weekend. Of course, it's the GeForce 2 version.
To get over Outlook, try Evolution. It's very similar. For a Visio replacement try Kivio. Both of these programs are available on your Mandrake CDs. I'm not familiar with the Checkpoint software or object management consoles. So, I don't know what the GNU/Linux equivalent might be. I also don't understand your Radeon problems. Can you give a description of what's wrong? On Thursday 10 October 2002 06:48 pm, Ralph M.
