OK. So Jan did a good thing and went out and brought me a new computer ~
A laptop with grunt and 100GB of hard drive with WinXPPro installed.
So where to from here ?
Obviously I'm looking at Mandriva for my Linux boot ~ but my lurking on
the forums doesn't give me 100% confidence in putting together a
personal workstation that I'll be using for projects and not as I do on
my grunty old PIII ~ ie. experiment a lot.
Any thoughts anyone ?
Hey SnapafunFrank,
Long time no see on the list. Nice to know you're not pushing up the
daisies!
Have you tried PCLinuxOS lately? Mandriva-based, pre-configured for a
lot of things that you'd normally have to do by hand (browser plugins,
3D video, good printer & USB stuff, oodles of wireless stuff and a
really good forum for support), installation of a full OS in 20 minutes
or less, and the list goes on.

Have a look. It's based on a single LiveCD ISO which you can boot
directly (without installing) and take for a test drive, which also
allows you to install drivers on the fly. Then if it works for you, run
the installer directly from the desktop.
