Hello:
I'm using a Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 system now. I never
bothered to upgrade to 2.4 (deciding instead to
wait for the next generation Caldera distribution
which would have the latest kernel, KDE desktop,
etc...). I've heard mixed reviews about the new 3.1
product and am finding my present

I haven't done anything with Mandrake 8.0 0r SuSe 7.2, but I have set up Mandrake 7.0
an SuSe
7.1. The Mandrake installs easier. Partitioning was a little strange after Caldera but
easy to
do. It found all of my hardware except the printer. Checked printtool after an found
that
Mandrake support
I have installed Mandrake 8.0 on a couple of machines. The good news is it
installs very easily, even on pretty new hardware. I like the compatibility
with RH RPMs so most software is available for it. I have had good luck
getting CDRW to work and some difficulity getting DVD to work but tha
Thanks to the folks who offered their opinions of
Mandrake vs. Suse. A couple of questions for those
who have tried Mandrake 8.0:
1. Does the "standard" Mandrake 8.0 include all the
usual stuff (Sever tools such as Samba, MySQL, etc..
and development tools, etc...), or are these available
only

see fonts-> on the SxS for rolling your own SO fonts. Peck Dickens did a
great job of fixing that one.

It appears that MySQL and Samba client, and what looks like server, are on
the 2 Disk Download version of MD8.0 and I am not sure if the development
tools you are looking for are there or not but it looks like some are on the
disks.
I am not sure about the pluggins.
I only had difficulty load
Even if you don't choose SuSE, MAKE SURE YOU TRY IT! It is a different
feel, but it's nice! That and the fact that the 7 CD's for Professional
have a huge amount of CATALOGUED software... What do I mean by this? Do
you remember the "Specify Selection" option W3.1 and LTP gave you when

Comment on Mandrake 8.0
I downloaded the ISO for both the install and the extended stuff. The
install went great, but then I have a pretty plain vanilla machine to
install it on. However, I was disappointed in the KDE that was
installed. I didn't see the familiar KDE panel, menu and etc. Whil

A lot better from reading the above, thanks.
I suspect that the greatest majority of us here on this mailer, actually
'know' a great deal more about Linux : - under the covers, than we think we
do. Sinc
I explored the SxS entries on FONTS and I think I have solved my ugly fonts
problems. Mdk 8.0 uses xfs and I copied the Win98 fonts into a dir and
updated the xfs config file (added the path to the new fonts), restarted X
and now my fonts are much better.
Thanks for the Info.
