mandrake is really great.
i m running it on all my non servers on x86 architectures.
it is by far the best non - server linux out there. certainly debian is good for workstations, but well, for the everyday use mandrake is by far the best.
Its not that I don't like OSX, its just it runs a little slugish on my ibook 800. Can't wait for the 970's, they have some G4's here at school but they are still running OS 9.
