i have mandrake 8 in my amd machine for a few weeks now and
have no stability problems. can u prove your statement. u cant
by me.
and my point is we ALL have got to get rid of its not as good as
my distro, or im gonna run down this distro to make mine look better.
i have had no problems with mandrake 8. the only problem i have
had is i cant seem to update my nvida drivers. hopefully in the
near future we will be able to update video drivers in a little easier
fashion.

the only suggestion i would made is be sure and set your bios to
non plug and plug. and then reinstall. i have messed around with
my mandrake and installed it as newbie and expert and changed drives
and added more and less software. i have no problems with it.
what is your machine. if its abit i have been hearing that abit motherboards
seem to have some problems with linux period.
