Yes, this is one of the easiest for 'newbies' but...it's not just for newbies. It's just as powerful as most any flavor of Linux, especially the deluxe version. In response to the warning for Sebastien, don't worry. Yes, it's true that it doesn't come with KDE2 final, in fact it doesn't come with KDE2 at all, but KDE 1.99. But, that's one of the things that makes this a great Linux distribution, MandrakeUpdate. Just go the the web site and MandrakeUpdate will automatically update your system to KDE2.

If you are reading this, you probably already know about Linux in general - its not for the average user, and not for games, etc. This release is one of the best Linux packs onthe market for real world servers, since it has a pre-configed security setting called 'paraniod' level security. It makes the machine rather useless for a desktop, but great for a server. It adds the wrappers for you, turns off all un-needed deamons, and makes a clean tight install. It can save you hours of work regarding security - this is one of the best picks for a Linux web server (if you dont use BSD). I give it a five star rating.
 Not a review, a warning... November 10, 2000

This is not a review of Mandrake 7.2, but a warning... The Macmillan Publishing version ... is actually the last Beta version of Mandrake 7.2, not the final product. One of the unpleasant side-effect is that it include KDE 2 Beta, while the final release of Mandrake 7.2 comes with KDE 2 Final...The Mandrakesoft version is the "real" Mandrake 7.2 final, but i'm not sure if it is available in the USA...
Actually, this is the Mandrakesoft version November 16, 2000

I had only heard of Mandrake when I bought this product. This product is so easy to install and set-up. It is literally as simple as put in the CD and run the install program. Tired if getting "The Blue Screen of Death" and constant rebooting? Linux Mandrake will solve all your operating system troubles. For all of you even thinking of switching to Linux Mandrake this is the answer. I promise you will not be dissappointed with Mandrake 7.2. Go buy it!!
