I have been an avid mandrake fan since i chanced upon a copy back around the 5.2 era, at the time i was using red hat, since then i have tried others but none seem quite as slickly put together as mandrake, of course i am a gui baby....
I have been running rieser fs since it was first made avaliable by mandrake in 7.2 and swear by it,, though i have a 1.2kw ups that can run my referigerator for an hour, i still find it reasuring to have the journeled file system... and as for performance differences,, well i just throw hardware at it.. i am currently running dual pentium celeron 550's on an abit bp6 (has some issues with X, and acpi) 512 meg of ecc ram, and mandrake 8.0 prosuite edition wisley distributed across 4 8gig cheta ultra 160 hard drives with 4 meg buffers each... and all i do is chat on icq and check my email... LOL.... No really i get to doing some good tricks with the gimp and other of the wonderfull tools that linux has to offer take a look at the images on www.abtllc.com I just put mandrakes new 8.1 on a spare box and so far it feals slicker than ever, up time will tell its stability :) Good luck in your adventures into the world of Mandrake ;) Brent On Sunday 30 September 2001 12:28 pm, Bill Shupp wrote: > On Sunday, September 30, 2001, at 02:13 PM, Jens Benecke wrote: > > On Sun, Sep 30, 2001 at 11:01:48AM -0500, Bill Shupp wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > either you have a broken mailer, or you have a _really_ weird file > > system > > corruption problem. ;) > > Sorry.
