*sigh* Are you just wilfully ignoring the actual experience that's been posted to this list? For the fourth time, I use a laptop. It's perfectly powerful enough to run KDE or GNOME (I use GNOME). Because it's a cunning small laptop, it has a half-height screen, whose resolution is 1024x480. The biggest obstacle to using Mandrake on this laptop is the fact the most Mandrake tools use large windows with no scrollbars. This is a fixable problem. -- adamw
