wow. i had win 3.1 then 98 then 98se and after reading about
what gates is all about i decided i had to make a change. im
not a progammer or anything but i do like linux. i had corel
which i didnt really give a chance to because it didnt
support geforce cards at the time. then i had suse and
i loved it. then mandrake came out and i got it and for
some reason i lliked it even more. i am really excited
about the 2.4 kernal coming out. i want to check
out konquer and koffice. i do some writing with
my machine but mainly listen to music with it
while i try to get people out of cults and wierd
churches on the internet. i love the sta bility of mandrake
i leave my machine on all the time and use konqueror
for my newsgroups and netscape for news and other
stuff. and by the way my netscape only crashes
about once every week or two. konquer
never crashes period.
later pat
