2. Is cooker stable? I am not familiar with how cooker works or is different from the normal distribution. Can someone fill me in on this?
Thanks,

I've been absent from the list for a while. I just got a PowerBook
(about a month ago) so all of my attention had been on getting
acclimated to that machine. Now that I am comfortable with my Mac, I am
ready to delete my windows 2000 partition on my desktop and go full
blown linux on that machine.
I plan to go with the FTP install. How can I make sure I get the latest
distro with the latest KDE and Gnome Desktops and all the security
patches.
I was having a few issues with my Linux Partition before, so I suppose I would like to start over.
Thanks,

If you want "the latest and greatest" you may as well go directly to cooker.
Download this
ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/ i586/images/boot.iso
burn it to a disk and boot from it. You should be able to upgrade or do a full
install, but it'll be awfully slow doing an ftp install over the Internet.
Even with my bandwidth (10 Mbit/sec down, 2 Mbit/sec up rated maximums) I
avoid it as much as possible.
Good luck.
