Why would anyone favour anything other than Mandrake? I use it too but am 
seriously considering trying out Debian, but would like to use a seperate 
hard drive to do it, but cant afford one.

Yep the ONLY reason I still have Windows is for my games, it takes a while to 
get everything working the way you want in linux but you certainly can get 
there.

I imagine you have much the same Linux needs as me so if I can be of any 
assistance feel free to mail me. In fact I have got a number of games working 
under Linux (UT2003, Jedi Outcast, Americas Army etc), so I could try and 
help you out with that if you need it.

Take it easy brother

Oh and do you have any MSN messenger account? I know MSN are the enemy but its 
what my friends use and there is a clone called AMSN which is the best 
instant messaging client for Linux (IMO), but only supports the MSN protocol, 
if not I will have to start using GAIM again which I hate
