[Cooker] mandrake 8 install any words of wisdom??

[Robert L Martin]

Since i now have access to a broadband connect and a burner i am getting
a copy of mandrake 8 tomorrow. Do AnyDrakes have comments on how stable
this is
p75 cpu S3 video ide drives. BTW Pixel i define Showstoppers as things i
wouldn't have children , bosses, $$ or Windows users see. Any reason i
should grab the newest boot disk (except 2.4 kernel)?
