I'm pretty happy with 8.2 on my dell inspiron 8000, but every other machine I've tried has problems.
We were planning on installing Mandrake 8.2 on some gateway AMD machines, but the one machine I've tried randomly crashes every 20-30minutes (or total video failure, no sync to the monitor). On a dell 5000 it doesn't recognize the xircom network card. Both of these machines run 8.1 no problem. On a dell inspiron 8100, it didn't recognize the video card, but if you manually installed drivers from Nvidia, then everything was okay. It doesn't seem quite ready for the masses yet. When I get some time, I'll find out what video card the Gateway machine uses, and exact details of the xircom network card. ______________________________________________________________________ Only a few days left to file! http://taxes.yahoo.ca
