You assumed that if a particular setting didn't work, none higher would which seems quite logical. Hardware is still (at least for some/most of us), the hardest part of Linux. I have been using Mandrake since 7.0 and the hardware supported has greatly improved. Mandrake 8 detected my zip drive, printer, graphics and sound cards without a hitch. I've installed several versions of 5 different distros and this is the first time that all of my hardware was detected. A lot of my friends run RedHat or FreeBSD and I hear over and over that Mandrake is just a glorified RedHat distro. Maybe at one time it was, but it's not anymore. Mandrake goes way beyond RedHat for desktop use. I haven't use Mandrake as a web server other than development use so I won't say for cetain that it is better than any other distro for that type of use but for the desktop, it kicks some serious butt. Now if only we could get that nifty "apt-get install" feature that Debian has! Gary
