I'm a Mandriva dev and would have to say that if you've not used it for a while I think you'll be pleasently surprised these days. It's come a long, long way since 10.0! Also the older Amarok run by Daniel is faily unstable (I'm also a bit of a KDE dev when I get a mo'!) is fairly old and bug ridden. Whatever your distro, I'd upgrade your Amarok to the latest stable for the best experience. FWIW, if you add your sources correctly you can just urpmi your 2006.0 machine to 2007.1 relatively easily. I've done it on several machines now (a couple of them remotely!). Col -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
