WD is definately Mark, if there's one thing an observer of the Linux community should learn quickly, the fact that one, or even a few people have trouble with a particular piece of hardware, it's quite possible that most of the people using it won't. Wasn't it you that suggested that each installation is like a snowflake? If there are problems with Celerons I suspect it's because most of them are sitting in boxes marked Hewlett-Packard and Compaq, not because of the processor itself :-) As for WD, you don't like them. That's fine but there are a lot of Linux installations running on them flawlessly and the several times you've said they don't work the responses always suggest otherwise. > falling behind...(another story).

Does that mean I should say that Mandrake isn't compatible with AMD processors? Or rather, should I note that I can do a standard workstation installation and that maybe, just maybe, the installer is having some problems when it hangs somewhat randomly during the applications installation portion? > Now, my AMD at home is another story altogether.
