Distros (Re: [Nottingham] RE: Nottingham Digest, Vol 219, Issue 14)

[asif maqbool]

I remember back in the day, mandrake Linux was my first *nix experience
running on an old version of vmware workstation, was still doing  wintel
support back then....

time flies, been 3 years since ive touched a windows support request @ work
;-)

but back to the point, I agree that mandriva/mandrake is a very good, easy
to use distro.

Could this be a pebkac issue maybe ?

:P
