I cannot relate at all to what you are talking about. After 1 year
playing with linux and using five different distros, I use Mandrake 7.0
(GL edition) on both my laptop and my dual celeron smp box with only one
problem that I had to work around. Mandrake 7.0 is a stud muffin linux
and if you cannot get it to work, then you probably did not pay any
attention to the hardware compatibility issues. Learn more and quit
venting your frustrations here. There is a LOT of documentation and you
have a lot of reading ahead of you.
