Should I install Mandrake on a 80 gig harddrive so my computer boots Redhat 9 and Mandrake, or should i keep Windows XP home? XP has Photoshop Elements, Adobe Premeire, VB, VB.Net, Office XP Pro, and a few games. like MOHAA, BF1942, Groundcontrol. The third option I have is installing Mandrake on a different, less capable machine. with 256 megs of pc2100 ram and a 2.2 celeron. The graphics card is an offbrand 32 meg, but I will install my GeForce 4 in it. Vote before 12:00 AM Central time, January the 11th (Sunday)

depends on what you want to do with mandrake!

but anyway, why would you want Mandrake and RedHat on the one Machine? they're so similar!

mandrake is better than xp as a server!

I heard mandrake is good for multi-media

what are u using redhat for???

Just put Linux on there and erase windoze. I just saw another post that had a good way to get rid of it.

mkreiserfs /dev/hd**

Replace the ** with you correct drive and partition(s).

Later

gtk-gnutella, amsn, gimp, mozilla

keep all 3 they are all good in their own respects,

but i would put the one that you are going to use the least graphics intensive programs on your old macine to cut back on loading times

thats what i think!

hope he listens to that last part about replaces the wildcard letters dont wanna easrease ur entrie hard drive.. and if u have windowze on a difrent hard drive.. make a msdos boot disk and put a progrma called disktool on it.... always nice to kill Macro$hit products with others they make its like having them hit there own heads

edit: oviuosly those quotes hate me WHY ME!!!!!!!!! just cuse i dont like to press a few buttons !!

I guess I need to use something besides * for that next time. Let's see I can use ? or #. What do you think?

That would be bad though wouldn't it?

lol yea unless u realy realy hate the fs ur using (no ofence but ext2/3 was just far too messed up for me havent had a sing problem with reiserfs tho)

Bad thing is that it won't convert his current install, it would erase it. I mean like really erase it. That would be the same as format C: in dos.

That would make me . I have a VERY stable Gentoo and a up to date Mandrake 9.1 on the other partition. I would be upset to say the least.

rain drops failing on my head. It is raining, AGAIN. Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain. Gets boring huh?

Like mcleodnine tells me, "XP is hard". Install and use Linux please.

"Should I install Mandrake on a 80 gig harddrive so my computer boots Redhat 9 and Mandrake, or should i keep Windows XP home? "

If you want to install a third operating system I suggest BSD. You will learn a lot more working with BSD than a second Linux distribution.
