*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.
