Thanks all for your comments on Mandrake. Sorry if I was ranting a bit - I promise I'll calm down in future.
My e-mail has been on and off lately whilst I've been in a distro-limbo and trying out some new distros. At the moment I have just installed ubuntu linux (www.ubuntulinux.org) and it's looking pretty good. Booting and installation is a little rough looking but once up and running it's pretty cool.
The only thing with this distro is it has removed the root password/user in favour of sudo for admin tasks. There are reasons for this on the website explaining the pros and cons. What does the group think about this? Should I set a root user back up or keep the sudo thingy. It does feel a little strange in use.
Rgds,
Martin
