I'm evaluating various Linux distros in order to recommend one to novice users, particularly Windows switchers. Mandrake has been recommended to me, especially since it can resize NTFS partitions.

I downloaded 10.1 Community and tried to install but have been unable to do so. First I got a text-based installer instead of graphical, and the best I was able to achieve was a system that booted to a text login prompt instead of GNOME or KDE. Then I tried the low-res graphical install, but the best I was able to achieve there was that it would hang at the post-install configuration. Any thoughts?

Also, hoping for some clarification:
- How does 10.1 Community differ from 10.1 Official?
- If 10.1 Official might work better for my purposes, is there any way to download it for eval purposes?
- How does 10.1 Official differ from 10.1 Discovery?
- How does 10.1 PPC relate to the various Intel versions?


Thanks,
Dave
