 Hard to install October 19, 2004

I had Suse linux for many years. I deceided to try Mandrake Discovery, because my old Suse linux disk would not work on Windows XP. I wish I had bought a new Suse disk that would work on Windows XP, because Mandrake Discovery will not install on either of my computers.
I recommend Suse instead of Mandrake. I know it is easy to intall and it is very easy to use.
don't get this version November 29, 2004

As a windows 98se user trying to find something more stable, I was horribly disapointed in the Discovery pack. Things were easy enough until I got to the modem...Mandrake is very light on their modem support, I couldn't get drivers out of them for either of 2 modems I had (Intel and Conexant). Tech support was absolutely useless, and even after downloading a Linuxant driver with windows and getting it installed I still can not get a dial tone. The worst thing about this distribution is that you can't compile anything--they left those programs out. The best way to describe the interface is insultingly stupid, but to get anything done you have to be versed in Linux command line jargon, which is incredibly complicated even for an experienced DOS user. My advice, if you want to ditch Windows buy a computer with Linux installed and forget all these hassles.
