You beat me by 6 mth . I had recently built my 2nd machine |
| 5 |
& had been using Mandrake in the 1st, but they were slow with their release. |
| 6 |
I tried Suse + Slackware, but couldn't get them set up properly, |
| 7 |
so I thought I might as well try that new thing people were talking about. |

I followed the install instructions faithfully, booted |
| 9 |
& found myself with a working version of Gentoo ! I've never looked back. |

I still have the original CDs for Mandrake from 2000, my 1st Linux, |
| 17 |
but I've never tried installing them again anywhere. |
