You could be right Penquinisto. I don't use Linux as my every day system, as too much of what I do requires the use of Windows based software. I do prefer the "friendly UI", being a "point and click" type and not much into "console's" and keyboard commands :) I've not upgraded yet to Mandrake version 9.2 (think that's the latest one). The machine that I have Linux installed on at this point, is still using version 8.2. Unfortunately that machine is an older PII with limited capability. Wine was still not very stable at that point. I also run Windows ME on that same machine :) One of these days.....when I have the time.....I would like to install it on my PIII, get a newer version and see how far it's come.
