When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

These reviews are getting more and more stupid. Kopete is in one of the install CD's. I forgot which one because I did not have to know. I simply made a search for kopete in the add software section of control center and it installed it automatically. It has just asked put the relevant cd(s) to the drive. I don't know what these people want, how can it get easier than that?
Mandrake 9.1 is the best Linux distrubtion you can get right now. All the things they are stupidely complaining are the actual limitations of Linux itself not Mandrake's faults. Add to that the actual limitations and incapability of the reviewer himself/herself you got such dumb reviews.
My suggestion to people: Linux is currently not plug and play in the windows sense. The reasons for that are multiple (hardware vendor support, unix foundation of linux etc.). If you don't have the patience or inclination to learn new things, don't try at all. And most importantly, check if your hardware is supported. Otherwise, go for a mac or XP. Currently, it takes some effort to use Linux on the desktop and there are some minor tradeoffs. But overall, I personally find it much much better than windows or mac experience.
