To all: My 2 cents on stuff. I've seen people really griping about the new 7.2 version of mdk. I myself find it different than 7.1 but the differences are vast improvements. Yeah, maybe KDE is now too full of way too much eye candy. Seems that Mandrake is wanting to sway over more Win users, but hey, I just use gnome, no problem at all. I find 7.2 to be completely stable, but 7.1 was very stable also. I think that the hardware configurations and the software configurations are causing the problems. Thats why this mailing list is here...........to settle down some of the confusion that many people including myself tend to get. The software is fine............It's just that you have to learn how to use it properly and then......the power will be unleashed. Windows can be hard to use for someone that has never used it before..........the same works with Linux. If Linux was the first OS that you had ever used, yes, you would have to learn it, but you wouldnt have any previous ideas clouding your vision. Just take the time to learn, knowledge is very powerful.
