Jezza Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 It depends more on what you're hoping to do with it? If a dual-boot with WinXP/NT/2000 is desired, and you're hoping to be able to access your Windoze files from within Linux, the earliest Mandrake could do this was 9.1, I think. Otherwise, 8.1 is fine, to play around with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep_54 Posted March 4, 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 My buddy bought Mandrake 8.1 and he had nothing but problems with it. At least with his comp, took like 4 installs and numerous driver changes and tweaks to get it to even run, id suggest something newer Like Fedora No problems with mine at allllll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
