All easy - no problem - real pretty - it works

These are my experiences with Mandrake 9.0, Quick (recomended) install, mouse found (wireless optical), sound fine, monitor found, ati all-in-wonder setup for graphics (to watch tv though i did have to install xawtv myself) found the network, found the internet (router/dsl). Then I added plf to urpmi.
installed keramik and liquid (can't decide- although i use keramik window decoration because its the finest on any platform). Transparent menus, OpenOffice works great, mozilla speed improved, konqueor sped up -really no problems yet that I can report.

I first tried linux with the dos tryout verrsion (winlinux2000?) and then tried corel and redhat neither would install, then downloaded the Mandrake tree and used a hard disk install and . . well I like it, it likes me.
