I've got Debian on DVD and was thinking about maybe giving it a go. I've
also got Gentoo 14., that I might try.

As for Mandrake, I only got the installation CDs to boot successfully once
and then it gave up in the early stages of the installation. :-(

The idea of it being left to a random "community" bothers me. Having said
that I am downloading it as we speak and I am hoping it will get around my
hardware problems as I expect it will come with the latest Kernel, rather
than having to update to it.
