Mandrake, here I come!
Wish me luck..hopefully in an hour (or two), I will be on Mandrake...

Well, I have used Mandrake before, but never kept with it, mostly because I liked my wintendo, however, I am prepared to buy an X-Box (see previous post), so their is really no need to run Windows. I am quite capable of using Linux, and enjoy it.
As for what I like about it?
The freedom. Knowing what I can do, not what I can't do. Also, the thrill of new discoveries. I am a programmer, after all. Also, the tools are somewhat more intuitive.
Granted, their will be things I miss in windows (Homeiste, with integrated FTP and CVS support), but nothing that will keep me their.
The fact that I am here right now, running Linux is proof that even an idiot can run it these days.

I've used RH for a few years and slackware for a little while before that. Now I'm gradually switching my computers over to Debian and am much happier there. I'm planning to try OpenBSD later on a spare box. Haven't heard much, done anything with Mandrake before, so was more just wondering about your experiences....
Okay, here is a simple screen shot: http://www.devnetwork.net/screenshot_9_20_2002.png
