funny you should say that. i installed netbsd before i the debian
install. netbsd wouldn't boot. hence the debian installation.... i just
wanted to explore new things.... but yes i do like the way mandrake came
straight off the cd ready to use (and mostly the same with redhat)

fortunately for me my brother is a windows weenie and he's refusing to use
the better machine now that linux has taken it over. what a shame :-)
