i did the install last night. i ran all the updates this morning. it was actually easier than a rh install, and i've run rh since the 2.0 days....up and including fedora. at that point i gave up. the bugs were unbelievable. i tried lindows and while the install went flawless, i didn't agree with the cnr thing one bit, especially for softyware that i KNOW i can download leagaly and freely on any other distro.
so i tried mandrake, 9.2.
i do have one small disappointment.
real player plugins for mozilla were not installed automatically. so i'll have to do those myself. no biggie, but i noticed that lindows had all the video plugins already installed for mozzilla. that was a nice bonus.
That's because the basic Mandrake distro only contains Open Source software, so commercial programs like RealPlayer, Flash and Java have to be installed separately.
