I got Mandrake 7.2 (and I just love KDE and esp. Konqueror, which beats the heck out 
of Nutscrape), anyway, I did a lnx4win install and it worked fine. Matter-of-fact, I 
don't even do windows anymore! I will use whatever works for my purposes, and I am 
happy to report that, so far, Linux can do it all! We're getting closer... Anyway, I 
get the OS loader and it defaults to linux, which is fine. I haven't missed windows at 
all. I'll have to start burnin' CDs and re-touching my wife's photos before I am 
completely convinced... but so far, so great. Mandrake 7.2 is a gigantic improvement 
over previous boxed editions. If you're at all unhappy with an older boxed version, 
give Mandrake 7.2 a shot. Perhaps the other distros have improved along the same lines 
(?). Hopefully, when MS shoots themselves in the foot with their underhanded tactics 
(breaking anything Linux, restrictive licensing, overpriced bloatware) Linux will be 
ready enough for the great unwashed masses to plugin and !
 pl!
ay! Let's face it, a desktop OS and a server are two different things. It *should* 
take a sysadmin to adminster a server, and my mother *should* be able to successfully 
use a desktop OS with a minimum of fuss. Heck, we'll all be using linux PDAs pretty 
soon!
