Hello

I am kind of partial to Mandrake as I find it more user friendly than the others!

I agree with SPEEDO.
I liked Corel Linux also, it was my first Linux OS. So it was easy to use for a newbie.

Hey DJ

That was my first whack at a Linux distro to!

I don't use Linux right now! But everytime a new version comes out I download it and fiddle around with it for a month or so then get rid of it!

I have been Windowized and am having a hard time trying to break the habit!..LOL..;)

I wish I could try them all. I need a second computer though, so I can run JUST linux on it. I had a disaster once when I ran Linux & Windows on the same machine. It just so happened to be Mandrake v8.1 that took me to the cleaners. Oh well.

I use a quickswap drive bay! Just stick the drive with the OS you want in the bay before bootup! Leave auto detect enabled for the ide ports and whallah!

It's about $30.00 per bay for the trays and of course you need hard drives but with this setup you can use smaller drives because your not loading everything onto one drive!

It's cheaper than buying another computer!
