Two or so months ago my brother had a system (running a cyrix) that would not run 586 Mandrake. So I downloaded Red Hat and installed that on the system. I saw it as an excellent way to recycle that older 200 mhz system into something useful. I remember the installer being very clean looking and impressive in a functional way. I was in the wierd position of truly liking the new Red Hat, but not really having any reason to run it back in the shop, since Mandrake was still more functional and aimed at the "desktop". I'm another one of those that thinks it was a really el-stupido move for Red Hat to publicly state that Linux would never make it on the desktop, while Mandrake continues to make massive inroads into that arena. Nevertheless...the distro is a beaut. I was favorably impressed with it's "desktop performance", notwithstanding what they publicly say. Also, my old linux compadres still use Red Hat for their desktop works, in defiance of what their favorite company states about RH. They've never run Mandrake, though. :) LX -- 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같� Kernel 2.4.8-26mdk Mandrake Linux 8.1 Enlightenment 0.16.5 Evolution 1.02 Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ 같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같같�
