But mandrake is a newbie distro - and is leading the revolution as far
as i'm concerned - to get average users using linux. Therefore a good
howto on its setup and use - or mabye how to install software from the
internet(a daunting, sometimes impossible task to the newbie) - would be
furthering the linux cause.
