I started with debian (potato) freaked out, moved to mandrake and now I just moved back to debian last week, and I have to say that I miss it very much. I never had these RPM problems, just stick to using URPMI isntead of plain old rpm (urpmi is like apt-get and rpm is like dpkg) and never ever install rpms made for other distros, if you need packages not found on your CDs just add a contrib source to urpmi or compile it yourself, thats the trick. you won't regret using mandrake but I'll expect you to be back to debian sooner or later. cheers, Alaa -- get my PGP/GPG signature at http://www.geocities.com/alaaov/pub_key.txt Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we ourselves possess. -- Gandalf the Grey [J.R.R.
