Good price for 3CDs of Linux for those of us with dial-up :D (I asked at a internet cafe - they were going to charge me $90 odd to download and burn it :|) Mike.	Mike (15)
98498	2002-11-14 08:04:00	Thanks Mike Yes you are right 3 CD's to the magazine, but only 2 have Mandrake, the other one is a standard magazine issue. From Eric	E.ric (351)

98502	2002-11-14 21:30:00	Apparently Mandrake is a more "Nooby" style linux. That's what the grapevine told me, but I read a reveiw in last months auusie mag (Dunno which, there's tons) and it seems easier than my experiences of linux!	Chilling_Silence (9)
98503	2002-11-14 22:54:00	Just 2 copies left in Whitcoulls, Upper Hutt. :D	Terry Porritt (14)
98504	2002-11-14 23:00:00	Im sure there's a limit terry on how many Whitcoulls will let you buy per day... :D	Chilling_Silence (9)
98505	2002-11-15 02:28:00	Saw lots in Lambton Quay Whitcoulls...	Dunno Anon (2431)
98506	2002-11-15 08:07:00	>>> How does it compare to say Red Hat Linux 7.1 Well Mandrake 9.0 is the latest, and for RH I think version 8 is the latest, so RH 7.1 is a bit older - probably more like Mandrake 8.0 or something? I dunno... Mike.	Mike (15)
