I've been using Mandrake since 6.0. I've never had problems with .1 or .2 releases, but .0 releases are evil, stay away. And don't do an upgrade, do a full install by moving stuff you need to your /home partition, and just don't format /home. I've found that it likes to install 2 different versions of some packages sometimes. Overall, Mandrake works very well, and seems to be noticably "snappier" than other distros, at least when running X. Mandrake for desktop, Debian for servers... :) Jay -----Original Message----- From: Callum Lerwick [mailto:lerwick at tcfreenet.org] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2000 5:31 PM To: tclug-list at lists.real-time.com Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Pentium 4 & Linux ?
