apropos Mandrake, I agree with the reliability and smoothness of Mandrake installation, anyway just to share with you yesterday night I checked my HDs behaviour with the 3 distro (Man default kernel, 61 2.2.14 self kernel, 64 default kernel). The throughput of my two disks (hdparm -t /dev/hdx) with Man70, SuSE61, SuSE64 gave me something like: 3,5MB/sec, 7MB/ses, 11MB/sec for Quantum7.6GB and something less for my IBM4.3 Ciao, Stefano Greek Geek wrote:

At our (austinlug) BYOB (bring your own box) event Saturday, I did three installs of Mandrake 7. It is slik. So slik in fact that I changed my main machine to Drake right away.
The installer set up sound, scanner, and ide cdrom burner with absolutly no input from me, aside from telling it I would like to use the cdburner.
X, network, and ftape only took minimal input.
I guess I am trying to say that I am trading the SuSE list in for a Mandrake one for now.
This is and has always been the friendliest and most helpfull list around, and I will miss you all. I will do waht I can to maintain the same decorum on the Mandrake list.
I just really do not have the time for two high volume lists.
Thanks again, and Have some fun at my expense if you want..

I have to agree with you, because my experience is so close to yours. But, I've still got SuSE 6.3 on my desktop & Mandrake 7.0 on the Laptop.
Thanx for your contribs to the list & we are all for Tux deep down.... :-)
