I have been using SuSe 9.1 Professional on a laptop in my shack and I 
plan to make the main desktop system in the radio room a Linux only 
box.  I have tried to find someone around my area that has some 
experience with Mandrake to no avail.  The only person I know who has 
tried it was setting it up for a server at a school and had not much 
good to say about it.  What all do you have Mandrake doing in your ham 
shack?  I would be interested in your opinion of it.  Thanks.
