I started with redhat 6.0 and then moved to 6.1 when it came out last
fall. It was very good. Then I tried Mandrake 6.1 and found it was a lot
of fun playing with kde. Mucked around with debian but found it a little
out of date for my hardware, although my system admin offspring swears
by debian - its really for the pure in heart. But then along came
Mandrake 7.0 and lo and behold its works really great on my Dell Laptop
with the ESS Maestro sound card at the getgo and also on my dual celeron
smp with sblive sound card and it all functions perfectly. Mandrake 7.0
kicks butt. Hang out here and you can find out how to solve the "silly"
problems and you'll be a stud muffin in no time.
