right there are drivers for ati, nvidia, winmodems and whatnot else.

um yes this does happen but the updates fix this. On the downside they also
trigger this so you are left having to do ctrl-alt-f1 or so login as root and
type update-menus -v. The downside is it deletes all the links off of kicker
also and they dont come back.

yes it's fine i have one setup already and it is working very well. the server
stuff is top notch.

I run quite a few clients on mine and have them setup for the local newspaper
also which experienced a hard drive failure and is actually running cooker
from a few weeks after rc2. It is doing duty as a firewall just fine.

well for the redhat versions that give you the nice server stuff that mandrake
does it will cost you between 1500 - 2500. I find the mandrake servers are in
higher usage and the powerpack includes more or less the same stuff you have
to pay much more for if you would run suse or redhat.
If you want older packages but that are tried and tested more mandrake also
makes a server version for much more but if you want a lower cost with the
same amount of functionality redhat and suse don't even have anything that
will compete with mandrake.
