I'll be using them to help solve problems users'll be having with computers, and not for any other reason.	Guest (0)

26023	2001-11-30 10:03:00	Yes, in general, but what I am looking for are licenses that were paid for but never used, because of Microsoft introducing a new product onto the market. CDROMs sitting all lost and lonesome on somebody's back shelf. I know that there must be some out there, I just don't know where.	Guest (0)

Mandrake is the ideal Linux desktop, from personal experience. I use KDE, after being blown away by Enlightenment but realising something a little closer to the industry standard was more my cup of tea. Wesley Parish	Guest (0)
