Congratulations. Welcome. Its not as hard as you might fear Just think differently.
As for wizdrake. Wizdrake is not installed as standard unless you select the sever install. No problem its real easy to install additional packages. You will be doing it a lot soon :-) To install a package open Mandrake Software Manger you will find it in K Menu>Configuration>Packaging It will prompt you for the root password then a GUI will open. The first time you use it a message will pop up telling you to define a security update server. Just cancel that for the moment. In the main window you have two tabs. Installable and Installed. These present you with a tree view of the packages on the CD which are either already installed or available for install. You can browse to find the package you want or else search for it. So to install wizdrake search for wizdrake and then select the tickbox next to the result. You can install multiple packages at once if you wish. When you have selected all you want hit the install button and they will be installed. If you have selected a package which 'depends' on another one, then that one will be installed automagically as well. Read your Mandrake Install manual for full details.
