I agree. Fortunately, with internet, the userbase that can help you is spread across the globe. Sometime back, if I recollect correct, there was a thread on PLUG about somebody from Germany. > I am on Mandriva for a good reason that it works for me even now, when I have gone from power user to dumb user :-) That is the reason I am sticking with SuSE for now on Laptop, which is my main workstation. And Mepis did offer good collection of entertainment options, better than Mandriva, which I was using till about a year and half ago. > Had I got ubuntu CD with me, I might have tried it with Laptop.

I have used it with Mandriva, SuSe and also with Mepis. If you need, I do have Kubuntu CD and can make a copy.
