Rikona: Start them in 9.1 so that you'll be better able to answer their inevitable pleas for help. You can introduce them to 9.2 after you've had a chance to become familiar with it, and thereby earn yourself further guru points. My experience has been that each new Mandrake version is a marked improvement over its predecessor, but there are always some gotchas that take a few weeks to get sorted out. -- cmg
