RE: [newbie] 7.0-2 version
Thank you so much for the answer! It's nice to know that there are actually some people here that want to help us newbies rather than chastise them. Checking with uname -a and looking at the kernel on rpmfind.net proved that they are the same, so I have the current version. Again thank you for the help!

Re: [newbie] 7.0-2 version
Gregonce installed, the 7.0-2 iso image will also give you a 7.0 (Air) version. Once installed on a computer the 7.0 iso image and the 7.0-2 iso image are the same. The few bugs fixed in the 7.0-2 iso image have only to do with the installation process itself and these bugs are avoidable by downloading a floppy.img file and booting for the install with it rather than with the cd containing the 7.0 iso image. All of what I've just told you is freely available on the Mandrake's web site. You shouldn't jump to conclusions without doing some research into the subject.
