Mandrake keeps loosing basic usb function but return on the next boot (doesn't find it at boot up but finds it on the next boot) Redhat has become another M$ meaning you can not just go to their site and upgrade packages. You have to register on their site and create a profile with a list of installed packages (sound familiar?) along with your name phone number address and then you'll get bumped because the server is to busy to accommodate non-licensed users. Basic printer setup sucks under RH 7.3. I'm setting up gentoo on another partion and will soon have it to where its to my liking but I would not recommend it to a newbie. I guess next I'll try Slackware and SuSe and see if they can be setup without a lot of hand-holding.
