Martin....are you seeing something like the below prompt
after you've logged in:
[martin@localhost martin]$ _
If so, that is Linux. It is the console prompt for Linux.
If what you're asking is how to get into the GUI (graphical
user interface - the environment that looks a bit like
windows) then enter the command 'startx':
[martin@localhost martin]$ startx_
and if you set up your xserver correctly during installation,
then when you press the enter key after typing in the 'startx
command, you will be transported to the GUI (most likely KDE,
which is the default in Linux Mandrake. Good Luck!
