<heh heh> CraftyC. You are "The Cool", but I still don't seem to have the intelligence or devotion to figure out the configurations needed to setup a fully functional netork, with MS pc's, and the mounting of all he HD's. Xandros does all that automatically like WindowXP does. Still thinking of installing Mandrake 10 to see what difference, with past distrfos.
Anybody try it yet. I always had a lot of trouble with the usual distros with my laptops (Toshiba and Sony). Xandros is easier for that too.
I wonder how all this will do on the new OQO pocket pc coming out this fall?
If you have a spare PC, there is no harm in putting Mandrake on and trying it. If I had a spare PC I would certainly try it, even though I am 100% happy with Gentoo. AFAIK Mandrake has become a very user friendly distro. Supports a lot of hardware, point and click configuration, loads of wizards, so it shouldn't be too daunting.
Oh and on a side note, Xandros have come out with an "Open Circulation Edition" which allows you to download, use and redistribute the OS for no charge (non-commercial use only though). Take a look at it here -

What's up with the URL tags? They don't seem to be working.
