The install will pick up you dual cpu's and install a kernel that will support
them out of the box (nice touch I think). Pick up a good mid range card. A 4 meg
AGP Diamond card would be a good choice if the budget is tight. Or if you got
the dough a G200 16 meg card would be super sweet. I've had good luck with the
pci realtek 10/100 cards. Mandrake 6.1 from what I understand is the cooker
version, a development version. Make sure you download the updates and install
them straight away.
Is the drive dedicated to Linux? Make sure the /boot directory is under the
1023 cylinder on the drive. When you partition it make a 15 meg partition first
off and mount is as /boot
When you run the install choose custom, then select the packages you want to
install by hand. It's a great way to learn about the system and the packages on
it.
Have fun.
