Bravo Chris! Pretty slick ain't it? I'm running 8.1 on an old P-III box with 64 meg RAM on it and it hums right along.

Way to go!
Are you dual-booting with WinXP? Did you experience any installation problems? Have you done any tweaking since installation?
Chris, how much experience did you have with Linux before. It seems to me that you have mentioned using it before, but not very much. Right?
Go get em!

That's great Chris! I've been waiting to pick up a computer to install Linux on. Hope to join you in the Linux world soon!

Welcome on board Chris. Mandrake is great – if only someone could port Santa Balls to it it'd be perfect…

True, there's a big distro war going on, but I enjoy Mandrake. Second pick would be Slackware, only for the nostalgic value (it's what I cut my teeth on, so to speak, when learning Linux). Hope you enjoy it. I do. It's the Linux distro for those who don't feel like learning a programming language to get things to run.

Congrats! I hope you enjoy it, or at least give the time to learn it and allow it to become the tool you use.

Way to go Chris,
Keep us informed about what you think about it. I hope you find it as customizable as you like.
Linux is definately different from Windoze. What made you decide to give it a whirl?
Looking forward to your comments on Penguin Shell and or Windows Daily.
