thanks kenneth for your response. i have the mandriva 2008 cd from LFY on my desk. printed on it is the following WARNING (their caps) "The text-mode installer has an unconfirmed bug that may erase your partition table. We highly recommend that you DO NOT go ahead with an installation if your PC does not support the graphical installer/" my pc does not support the graphical installer. so will skip this. however, if and when i do get personal hardware that does, will kick some tyres on Mandriva. OpenSuse is a great distro, but i personally do not quite like the company's recent policies. however a lot of users i know are satisfied and even delighted by OpenSuse. so in keeping with my 'follow your bliss' approach, will try debian or even fedora. in fact i always have trusty old debian on a separate partition all the time. don't wanna let go of ubuntu though. have been using ubuntu as my workhorse for my production pcs for nearly two years now. :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
