Most of what you just pointed out was either nothing to do with Mandrake but with KDE, or so unspecific as to not be of much value. I think what it comes down to is, like you said, an experience, and experience is subjective. As Joeb said, it's the same Linux. My install of Mandrake 9.1 has never crashed once, but then again I don't use what I personally see as garbage, KDE, again, personal subjective experience, but there you go. No app has "crashed" *ever* except for verrrrrry beta stuff like the just released beta of MOHAA. Some stuff has locked up on me before, but I just kill it and restart it, and again, that's very beta or even alpha code I'm playing with. Now, about the sound issue...I would be very interested to know how Slackware handles sound differently than Mandrake or any other distro, or how you are able to make the sound work better with "lower level" fiddling in Slackware. > > Beppe > > > -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wisdom is knowing what to do with what you know. -- J.
