Re: [newbie] Minimizing the cult factor
As a Microsoft developer and using Microsoft product for many day. I want to tell u guys. Microsoft is going to survive, but remember. After using mandrake linux, I suspected linux is gonna sit in a conner. It is gonna take substantail amount of users from the server market as well as desktop. Few movies in Hollywood as done in linux. It is growing and no one is gonna stop it. But every operating system has to face the threat of Linux growing user base. As lond as it is gonna maintain standrad as a unique product of linux flavour. All the distributions are gonna see the same track. Linux mandrake took me with a surprise and I have virtually nothing to pay as well.

Re: [newbie] uninstall
Hi, use fdisk from windows. and remove the partition and reformat the drive and recreate the drive. This helped me. Just formating will not help. Regards, Hari Yellina.
