I don't think you've picked up on what Mandrake does REALLY WELL,
which is hardware detection and management.
If you want a smooth, sexy install of Linux, try installing
Mandrake. It's just really about the most sensual experience I've ever
had installing an OS. Everything is autodetected so I don't HAVE to
tinker if I don't want to, but if I want to I can muck with every
little detail to my hacker's heart's content.
Seriously, everyone should try installing Mandrake, just to get a feel
for what it SHOULD be like.
