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.

File type detection by extension?
by Maxei on Sat 12th Jun 2004 15:49 UTC

I find the extension to the files very convenient. In addition, I can associate a given file with the application I want, in the properties of the file. I agree, this is similar to that as for Winblows. So what? However, I have a critisizm to Mandrake, or should be KDE? Konkeror should stay as a web browser only; I dont like it as a file browser. I dont know why. IS it because it reminds me of Windows Explorer with its double use? Cant explain why.
