Well, first of all, Mandrake 7.1 was my first Linux download. Besides that, i had three other discs (obtained from magazines and comdex etc. ) Debian, TurboLinux Workstation, and Slackware. Guess which one was the only that configured my video card correctly? That's right. Mandrake did. Then i was able to give Linux a first try. I had a winmodem at that time, so i was unable to use the net from Linux.. So in the end, there was no much i could do with it, and my experience with Mandrake 7 was no more that a breef game. After some time, i got an ADSL connection. Mdk 8.0 was already available. I downloaded it (my internet connection worked this time) and i liked it. From that moment on, i never even attempted to try anything else. Mandrake does what i want it to. It evolves quickly (each new version feels nicer and faster than the previous one) it has it's famous control center from which i can set up nearly everything (and the best part of this, is that after the installation, i *don't need* to configure anything except for some services i might want to disable), and a lot of packages are available for it. To summarize, Mandrake was the only distro that was friendly enough for me to start fiddling with it, and once i did, i was hooked. Ah, and last but not least, as time went by and i learned more about mandrakesoft, these lists, and the people in it, i developed warm feelings for the whole thing... I just feel good in here. Damian
