Mandrake was what I switched from. I used Mandrake for about six months |
| 25 |
when I decided to switch, mostly because the upgrade process sucked. I |
| 26 |
didn't install Mandrake just to install Gentoo, it was what was already |
| 27 |
installed. |

That said, if I thought I would run into trouble and needed my dial-up |
| 30 |
to work during the install, I would stick in a old drive and install |
| 31 |
Mandrake and install from there. I'm not saying someone else should but |
| 32 |
setting up dial-up on most bootable CDs is not fun. |
