Welcome Sadie. You didn't mention how you came to hear about/find and install Mandrake Linux in the first place. My own introduction/induction to Linux, about 6 years ago, was finding a freebie Red-Hat disk that somebody at work had discarded. As a result, I bought a nice shiny SuSE v6.1 box so that I could RTFM - and really was glowing with pride when that first text menu login appeared saying, "Have Fun". Like you, I have tried many distro's over the years: but have always retained a box with the latest version of SuSE on it. To me, as a desk top user, that's what Linux is about: a box that works, choice and having fun at the same time - usually with the latest version of Mandrake on another box. I'm not a geek, I'm retired, probably the oldest member of the group, and (viewed in retrospect) - post daft questions. My local newsagent (Okehampton) sells 12 copies of LF each month, I often wonder who buys the other 11 and where they are. Enough of me - "Have Fun" -- David Bell Hatherleigh, Devon A SuSE Linux user. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
