Rating:  - Beautiful OS but needs work
Linux-Mandrake 7.0 is arcaic now, (Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Linux-Mandrake 8.2 are much better) I couldn't get on the internet with this version. Upside: 7.0 is fast on arcaic computers.
Rating:  - Forget the techincal support
If you're buying this box for the support or buying support from Mandrake, then forget it. I couldn't even get the installation disk to boot (something to do with Mandrake having problems with a DVD ROM, despite the fact that every other Linux distribution disk I tried worked), and a request for support only led to a rather dense suggestion and then a referral of my problem to "level 3 support". The latter never responded, not once, not to say "your problem is progressing", not even a "your problem ... Read More

I found the Linux Mandrake to be a wonderful operating system even for the beginner. The installation was easier than Windows 98 and took half the time to install.

After trying a few things about the only thing I could do was to log on and access a help file. Big Deal.

Rating: - A voice from the Dark Side looking for the light.....
I really don't care for Windows but, it is all I know and have ever used. That makes me a "Newbie" to Linux. Most of the install went very trouble free with the exception of the last step, Configure X. The drivers for the Intel 810 Chipset for graphics are not there nor was My make of Monitor(HP Pavilion-M50). I am having to settle for less than optimum resolution, 640 x 480 in 16-color. This makes for an enormous graphical user interface and very unpleasant work environment. Sure, there are drivers ... Read More
