Alternatively, I could buy the download edition on cheap CDs, and use that as a test to see how things are beforebuying the boxed set.
- From Mandrake's point of view, buying the cheapies and subscribing to the club is much better than buying direct from MandrakeSoft. They get all of club money, but only a bit from sales.
I am going to ask a stupid question: I don�t mind which way I do it but I need a version as reliable as possible because I am a total ignoramus. On top of that, I have a lousy modem connection so big downloads are not possible. Wouldn�t buying the cheapies and subscribing to the club make me too dependant on too many downloads? Also I gave up Windows 3 years ago so if the install doesn�t work, I am stuck. It would be nice if someone could get KRUD to do Mandrake updates on CDs.

Not such a stupid question Maryse.
Here's a suggestion though. Have you considered joining a Linux User's Group? They usually have a high-speed connections available, and someone should be able to burn the updates for you.
It would also give you an opportunity to learn more, and to contribute from your own experiences.
As far as getting a reliable version is concerned, the boxed-set may be the best choice, since it includes drivers which may be better suited to your needs.
