Well, I felt weak and actually bought a copy of Mandrake Linux 7.2 at,
of all places, Walmart.
I'm sort of impressed. The install is as smooth as 7.0, but with
slightly better autodetect of the hardware. What REALLY impressed me is
actually the initial boot.... IT'S GRAPHICAL!
You know when you boot a *nix, how you get to watch all the nifty
notices scroll past, but miss some and end up looking them up in
/var/log? Well, miss no more... you can use a mouse to scroll back
through them.
OK, so it means next to nothing to any guru, but I think this is a huge
plus for newbies. There's also a better help system and KDE 2 is very
pretty.
I'll post more once I get a chance to play with it.
Oh, also, I've decided that Enlightenment is preeeeety. I think it'll
be my default WM for a while.......
