Mandrake 9.2 vs newbie...good match?

Gonna go out here on a limb...tonight! That's it! No more soft-shoe-in'. Gonna by gum get me a Linux package and sit down and go for the bliss. Mandrake 9.2 has such pretty packaging, and they think a whole bunch of themselves. A good road to Nirvana for a blind, nekid, innocent newbie?

Mandrake 9.2 is great for newbies. I've used Red Hat, Slackware, College Linux, and now Mandrake. I prefer Mandrake simply because everything is easy to use. You could say Mandrake 9.2 is idiot proof. :> Installation went fine for me. In fact, it was the easiest installation I have ever seen. Give it a try.

Thanks for the help here, folks. I think the working dialog is 'idiot proof'. That gives me working room.

Just for the record, I wasn't calling anybody an "idiot". I was just using it as a term to describe the awesomeness that is Mandrake.

Some distributions are so easy to use... i think to Knoppix (you have the choice to install it or no) : to my mind it's good for newbies
