Go 9.0...and learn not to blame the software always
for user errors. My first move to 9.0 was a disaster,
but then i learnt that there were a lot of things I
did wrong!!
All is smooth now..much slicker!

  Hello folks,
  My harddrive is finally dying, and due to be
 replaced this weekend
   hopefully ).
  At this moment, there are only 2 good partitions
 left ( both Windows ).
  So anyway, with the new harddrive comes the
 opportunity to load whatever
  version of Linux I prefer.
  Up until yesterday, It was Mandrake 8.2. I liked
 this version, As did my
  wife, ( Plenty of card games, eye candy, ease of
 use for her, etc ). You
  get the point.
  Now, I am wondering about version 9. I am
 intrigued by KDE 3, and would
  probably like it.
  However, from this list it seems there are some 
 bugs  that I might not
  enjoy, Actually it seems like quite a few.
  I am wondering if it is worth it when the time
 comes to load version 9, or
  stick with 8.2, and wait for a new version say,
 9.1 or something.
  Does version 9 have the card games like 8.2 ?
 Especially the gnome
  freecell, and Klondike ( solitaire ) ?
  Thank you for your input.
 
 I would say that if you can you should keep 8.2 AND
 install 9.0.  Experiences 
 of 9.0 have been very different.  If you get a good
 install, as mine was, you 
 will have few problems and you can then ditch 8.2
 
 And yes, there are as many card games etc. as you
 could want
