Hai I usually show people this review of XP versus Mandrake 9.2 on a brand new Shuttle SB62G2 small form factor system.
http://www.sudhian.com/showdocs.cfm?aid=491 Quick rundown of both installs... XP install * 50 minutes (excluding time to format disk) * One DVD-ROM, one driver CD and several Internet updates * Ten screens of questions * Nine (or more) reboots - I may have missed some *note this doesn't include the install of Office XP and or any apps or the configuring of the MTA like the Mandrake install Mandrake 9.2 install * 40 minutes (including time to format disk) * Two CDROMs and one Internet update * Nine dialog screens - plus three screens when logging in for the first time to configure your desktop type and email and news accounts * One reboot! Note the reboots Regards Richard Neal On Sun, 2004-03-07 at 16:14, Richard Hayes wrote: > Stuff it I 'll try it under Mandrake, I choose an Epson as they are supported > well under Linux.
