Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

Mandrake is the best distro

The world knows Linux mainly as RedHat and SUSE. I don't understand why most posted news keep bashing MandrakeLinux (by not mentioning it). In my opinion, Mandrake is the best Linux distro for the desktop and I recomend it to any Windows user to start out with this one. Keep in mind that Mandrake 10 Community Edition IS a pre-released version, NOT the final version. MandrakeSoft needs our help, so please contribute and buy the final version (supposed to have the bugs fixed). You wont be dissapointed.
