i am currently running mandrake 9.1 - every problem i had with mandrake 9.0 has been fixed with 9.1 - this includes things like MESA, OSS, ALSA, nvidia drivers, WINE, networking etc - and it also starts faster than mandrake 9! which is an added bonus!!!

I recommend moving to 9.1 from 9.0!!!!
Well, then, that encourages me to make the move. Maybe I'll be visiting CheapBytes later today...
The only thing I really want WINE for is to be able to use my electronic dictionaries; there's not a chance in hell they'll ever be made available on a Linux platform. If they were available, I'd purchase them instantly.
I would say I'd like to use Encyclopedia Britannica (desktop version), too, but I quit using it, even while still enslaved to Windows, when I found it required--REQUIRED--Internet Explorer 5 or later to be installed for it to work. Not even a Microsoft product, and it requires not only the Microsoft Operating $y$tem, but another MS product. I call that--gall, for want of a harsher term.
