Well, you find a lot more problems when using cooker in real life
instead of just playing with a few things. I'd rather use cooker
full-time and find problems in the course of doing my daily work, then
take an hour or two and try different things just to break it. You
track down a lot more problems this way. This is, of course, just
personal preference, but if I'm going to use and test cooker, I'm
going to *use* cooker, not just play with it.
I also really detest re-booting my machine, which is one reason I use
both vmware and win4lin. With my environment, I only need to reboot
when upgrading the kernel or changing hardware, and I can use any
version of Mandrake or any other Linux I like without disrupting my
own productivity at the same time (since I tend to do about a dozen
things at once).
