I must also concur. The install process was extremely slow for me, however,
I love the new GUI interface. This has made it easier for me and my
roommate (who knows nothing about Linux) to install it on both of our
machines. I hope to keep seeing these improvements over time as Mandrake
continues to grow and develop.

I agree with you too. As far as easy linux installations go Mandrake
passes even RedHat. My only problem with Mandrake is it doesn't run on a
386. :(
When it came to setting up PPP Mandrake was easy. :) Hope to see that it
remains that way, like there is any doubt ;).
