[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: Need Distro Recommendation, Please

[Ralph Green, Jr.]

Howdy,
  I agree that it is too harsh to rule out the distribution.  Mandrake
is a good distro.  Just don't install version 9.2 unless you know what
you are doing.  That is 3 releases back, or so, depending on you count,
anyway.  The problem was not caused by Mandrake.  The only thing you can
fault them for a little is inadequate testing.  Given the circumstances,
it was mostly bad luck, I'd say.  Gentoo was shipping installing this
same kernel briefly, so it was not even just Mandrake.
Have fun,
Ralph
