Greg, why don't download the two iso images and try?
For me MDK 8 is runing fine, but perhaps your hardware could give problems;
if you first try with this main installation you could have an experience to
decide buy or not.
I have the 8.0 installed in 3 computers, one of them a laptop, runing lot of
hardware:
Hitachi dvd (movies with xine and videolan fine)
Soncy CRX160 cd-writer (now, with the patch for xcdroast, burning cds fine)
Teach cd-driver
Epson Perfection 1200 USB scanner (runing fine)
Cable m�dem and other lan conexion runing fine (the cable modem with IP
masquering is also used by the laptop)
Epson Stylus Color 760 USB printer
HP LaserJet 4 L pritner
Avermedia TVCapture 98 tv-card (wonderfull, even decodifing cable television
and nagra codified channels)
Voodo3 3000 runing fine with DRI (aceleration) activated (Quake II and so on
runing fast)
ATI Rage video card
Maestro 2 and CreativeLab PCI 128 sound cards runing fine
If your hardware is compatible, I do recommend you Mandrake 8.0!
