OK. Got it.

Just remember when you start using Mandrake to check the obvious sources of 
Lore: MandrakeUser.org, MandrakeExpert.org, the control center.....

Some of those "experts" that review istributions seem to never really been 
past the "I installed slackwaer on 95" stage. I mean, now almost all th 
distributions have obvious errata webpages (with solutions to known bugs), 
graphical tools for almost anything (there's even a GUI app to 'use' to the 
command line, believe me!) and things work generaly easier and better than 
with that other OS[*] made somewhere in the north-west of the US of A.
