Mike - I'm confused. I thought you were sticking with Mandrake? But now
you're talking about Knoppix and/or Slackware! Is this a game of Russian
roulette you're playing? I'd say pick a distro, get someone to help you
install it (hint: Stammtisch is Tuesday night) and stick with that
distro until you've gotten a ways up the learning curve.
