Allan,
(Please note that as I write this on 6/7, I have not checked my email in
several days.) Yes, I have learned a lot reading in the newbie list, and
I've only been doing if for a couple of months. I've found that sometimes
others on newbie ask about some problem I about to deal with.
Garythis newbie list and its partner, the expert list,
have a much broader knowledge base, especially for solving
Linux Mandrake specific problems, than any paid email or phone
support system could possibly have. I'm sure that you'll be
able to solve your problem using one or both of these li
Right! That gets my vote too...

Let me be clear, I'm not complaining, rather I'm using my experiences and
expectations to make a point.
Poor support makes Mandrake look bad. I have been trying to get a sound
configuration failure solved over two weeks and find Linuxcare to be nearly
useless. They assume no reply in
I agree with Joseph S. Gardner's comment (below). A firewall as part of
the initial installation of Linux-Mandrake (even for a newbie) is a good
idea. Some people will have cable modems and other things that are on all

As I have mentioned elsewhere in newbie, I have just installed a couple
of other "flavors" of Linux. It helps one appreciate Linux-Mandrake. One
can begin doing things more quickly with what Mandrake has put on the
desktop.
I suggest, have RPMDrake ask if you want a desktop icon cre

I think there has to be better documentation on the
file structure of Linux. I come from a Windows AND MacOS background and
both of these systems are fairly intuitive in terms of how to save files to
certain drives. Linux documentation isn't as intuitive.

How about a "Dear Santa, I want it all" selection? I know I can get that
through the expert install but even this is confusing as there is a server /

Hi Denis, This is Bambi (or Fran if you prefer)

I agree with Juvenal's statement...
Postfix and Sendmail seems to be the same situation. I prefer to learn
Sendmail. Therefore, I think when under the "Expert" mode of the
installation, the user should be prompted "Email server: (S)endmail? or
(P)ostfix?"
