Warren,

I started out with slackware back in the 0.9X kernel days, and
switched to Red Hat shortly afterwards.  Once I was introduced to
Mandrake (about 2 years ago, 7.2, I think) I have never looked back.
It installs easily, works well with the default installation and
plays nicely with all the hardware I have had so far. I really can't
give a balanced perspective though, because once I tried Mandrake the
first time, I have never had any urge to play with any of the other
distros. I've really been impressed with Mandrake, especially the
ease of installation and setup -- key factors for appealing to the
desktop situation, where people want to go to work and not have to
feel like a *nix propellor-head.... at least that's my 2 cents worth,
anyways.

Rob
