@ quietguy47
I dont want dual boots, I dont want windows and Linux, I dont want 2 distros of linux, I want 1 and only 1! I like to feel secure with my computer, I dont know how many times I have said this. I dont like to distro hope all over and not be able to settle down, that is one of the reasons I like windows...its all there and its easy to use. BUt I have decided to try linux, and thats what im going to do, and the distro I am using is Mandrake, not red hat, not slackware, not gentoo. MANDRAKE.

:)

'Drake ain't bad. I started with 'Drake (actually I REALLY started with SuSE 6.1, but at that time I was only playing with Linux).

Mandrake tends to be a little cutting edge, trying to beat the other distros out with a new feature or two. That tends to make it a little more prone to instability. That can be good or bad depending on your experience. I have actually toyed with the idea of going back to Mandrake with the release of Mandrake 10.0.

dont set yourself on one distro yet, eventually yes, choose one and settle down if thats what you want, but there is a HUGE amount of difference between distros, in the end, i think gentoo is the best (meta)distro because it isnt a distro (hence the (meta)) and its amazingly versatile and easy to use, however for a newbie it is a horror to set up once youve learned a bit about linux switch to slackware a few months after that, switch to gentoo, and then never go back

Well I voted stay. Did you see? There's a guess contest as to when we hit 100000 members - don't go now! ;) but anyway the nice thing about using doz for games is you can keep offline and play. No outlook - IE crap, just the games! :p

who voted go?
sadistic people.

heheh.

glad you're staying. And remember, even though you can mess up, don't give up. we're here to help.

I dont know why you hate dual booting so much. Its not hard to do and is not more unreliable. Maybe you should learn more about it, having 2 OS's doesnt make your system worse, but more versatile.

Slackware wsa my first experience with Linux....I'm also dual booting too.

Just get a separate system for linux and a router and play Windows games on a different box. :)
