Hi
I have been using Mandrake for some time now, it came with the Professional Suite Linux, with such packages as StarOfice 5.1 and a lot more, It seems to be very good, I use the KDE desktop, but be careful if you use gimp the odd option does not work and crashes the system.
If you find you need to install stuff later like SCSI cards then don't mess around trying to recompile the kernel, just re-run the installation and it should find the new hardware for you, it's a lot more like plug and play rather than MS plug and pray!
cheers
Simon

I've installed Mandrake Linux, given away with the recent issue of PC Plus, on my laptop and I love it. Kernel compiled for Pentiums, automounting of floppy and CDROM, a lovely install interface and a range of X windows managers. Anyone else tried it?
