well, there is the new mandrake expert and newbie pages
at mandrake. all of your questions could be dealt with there.
and there is the mandrake update which i used earlier today
to take care of a security problem. i just pointed and clicked
it in. and ther are all those terminals u can use. i believe documentation
is on the internet. and also the mandrake group at deja is
quite talented. its all there. we need to come together and
support one distro with kde. the sooner we do this the
more united we become. i have used stormix , suse, mandrke
and corel. corel and stormix are gone. suse is quite good.
i have not used red hat. i have read that as far of ease of
use its not inthe ballpark as suse and mandrake. lets see
what happens, i believe Mandrake will take over Linux.
i believe more and more people will join in with mandrake.
if u have any complaints on mandrake u can join in and fix
any problems u see. isnt that what linux is all about
