After having Mandrake, you're going to be sorely disappointed with the RedHat distro - both version 8.0 and the new version 9; Mandrake packages a huge amount of "end user" utilities and programs that you will manually have to find/download/install/compile - and as well, when you start digging into the RedHat mailing lists, you're not going to find quite the same amount of camaraderie and helpfulness that you'll find in the Mandrake community. I really hate to steer someone away from using RedHat, but unless you're doing large scale server work, it's not quite the "desktop" that it either should be, or could be. But if you're going to experiment, by all means - just make sure you back up your /home partition and then off ya go! > In either case, I would like to backup all my work and reinstall from > scratch.

Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blur, really quite cheaply."
