Proud Mandrake 9.0 user here! It's still my favorite, after trying out probably about a dozen other distros. I think that just because a distro is easy, it doesn't make it bad. It makes it better!

Suse 8.1 FTP install. It only took a bit over an hour to install. And it works great so far.

I really like Mandrake's system utilities. etc. but it seems to break after using it for a couple of weeks. Things just stop working, file associations are forgotten, etc. Maybe 9.1 will be better.

this posting was more appropriate in the general forum instead of the distro forum.

the reason for the post was to request persons to give the name of their distro when asking questions.

maybe i wasn't clear on that - sorry.
