Mandrake 10 totally rocks!
This is my first experience with Linux and I can't believe I've waited
this long to free myself from unstable Windows XP.

It took about 1 hour to install Mandrake 10 on a Dell PiV system and
everything went ok but for some reason my Windows software won't boot
anymore.
Not really a problem though because I won't be using Windows anymore
as soon as I call AOL and find out how to use AOL with Linux.

I wasn't able to get on the internet because I don't think my Cisco
router is supported.
Not a problem because as I understand it, Cisco makes terrible
products anyway.
I went out and purchased a Linksys BEFR41 and now I am on the
internet.
I'm going to ebay the Cisco.

At first my HP printer didn't work but after looking on the internet
using my business account because AOL doesn't work yet, I finally
found out that I had to edit a CUPS file and then it works but only in
black and white. I think I need to investigate this a little more, but
I don't print in color much anyway.

I wasn't getting any sound so I disabled the onboard sound and
purchased a Soundblaster card for $69.99 and now I have sound.
Mandrake recognized the card with Drake and it worked tight away.
Onboard sound always sucked anyway.

My video looks great but I could only get 640x480 and 16 colors so it
was back to Fry's to get a new Nvidea card. I disabled the ATI onboard
video and installed the card and now I get 1024x768 16bpp so I am
happy.

Mandrake is FAST as greased pigs in a circus!
I'm having a little trouble with certain web pages but it's most
likely my compyle what needs to be fixed.

Can I make copies of these Mandrake CD's because I want to give them
out to my friends so they don't have to be stuck with shitty Windows
XP anymore.

Cisco own Linksys, and Cisco products pretty much run the internet.

Why the HELL does a router need to be supported? Its an ethernet device
which doesnt require drivers and is configured by a web interface!

I'm imagining the Tech suport call to AOL now, if anything that part made
my day.

Ok, if you are not a troll, you have serious problems my friend. Linux is
great for running on old obsolete hardware, just maybe not Mandrake which
is resource hungry. I use onboard sound, videa with no problem on max
settings and my printer and router work fine (the router shouldn't make any
difference). And why won't your windows boot? I guess you didn't include
it in your boot loader options.
