I have trouble running my work PC for more than 12 hours without a reboot.
Using system guard I can see that over time the memory for the X server just
grows and grows until all RAM and Swap space are gone followed by a total
lockup as the OS has no room to think.

Share your DVD drive on your NT box as per usual then use Samba from your

planes some
twenty years ago.

You can configure the bootloader after an install in Mandrake Control Center.
If you ever wish to uninstall, just go to a terminal and type:
lilo -U /dev/hda
..change /dev/hda where necessary.

Not all fonts are created equal! Some are bitmap-based and I don't think
anti-aliasing applies to them-- try to favour the adobe type fonts or
true-type fonts as these are vector based and they will look better even
without anti-aliasing.
