Mandrake Folks:
Just to clarify my comments regarding Mandrake installation support --
After experimenting with several Linux distributions, I tried Mandrake 7.1 and
found it to be far superior. I am using 7.1 in a school setting where there
are 25 networked machines in a lab, and multiple networked workstations in the
classrooms. At this time, about half of the machines are running Mandrake 7.1
I set up new workstations continually.
The principal of the school is running Mandrake 7.1. When I get a call saying
that she needs help because "it won't print" (or some such), I must solve the
problem (stress). Previously, the students were using W95 with Powerpoint,
Word, etc. The Mandrake version of Linux has held up well in a setting where
350 kids are already fairly computer literate. They expect a lot - things
must work.
My comments regarding installation support were made as a Mandrake "fan" -
not a detractor.
