well i finally got 8.2, mostly cause my brother in-law got it onto the university server and gave me access. talk about slashdot effect..... anyway.
to test the current "it can't be installed" spam from a certain party that has appeared lately on the mandrake newbies mailing list, i had my wife install it on a slave drive on her win2k machine. she couldn't do it. turns out she didn't know our dns address. i told her and she had no other problems creating a dual boot machine. she must be a geek. ;-) after using it for the past couple of days to write docs, play music, surf and read email, along with a short cd-burning side trip, her comments on it? "well it certainly is faster the 2000 and nothing has crashed yet!" i don't have the heart to tell her she 1) hasn't enough RAM to run at a "real" speed 2) she is using the memory munching KDE with all the eye candy turned on (she turned it on, but does she know how much of a hit that takes?) and 3) she is running setiathome in the background. that can't help. -- "The linux philosophy is laugh in the face of danger.
