I was actually running version 7.2 and very happy with it, except for 
minor problems with my graphics card, which forced me to boot windows 
first, and then Mandrake. So, I asked on this list if I could upgrade 
to version 8.0, and civilme clearly advised me to stay out of it, 
lest I wanted to send my notebook back to the factory for 
replacement. So I installed SuSE 7.2 and it works perfectly, and I 
don't even have windows anymore. Problem is, I sell Mandrake locally 
and it is a pain to explain to people why I sell LM and use SuSE.

I'd give it a try, were it not for my fear of burning this thing to 
ashes. My confusion lies in the fact that I can run SuSE, and not LM, 
when Linux should be the same OS. How can I tell LM not to install 
lm_sensors (which I think is used by KDE)? Should I install Gnome and 
hope it'll be safe?

Thank you.
