Shane,
Now you'll just get Rigby all upset and he'll respond with a fourteen
page questionaire for your wife to fill in proving she's a geek who
cannot be safely allowed to cross the road without computer guidance.
Please stop with these success stories. You'll just encourage people to
expect it to be easy. I'm a computer consultant. If it's not hard I
don't make a living!
So come clean. She's a computer science Phd who writes compilers in vi
right?
cheers
Brian

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.
