I am currently updating online mandriva 2006 powerpack, ~950MB.... where are those rpm's stored so I can save them for the future? because I am a complete linux newbie, and I might re-format or install on a pc at my workplace, which only has 56k internet access....

Hi, nice to find you!

mandrake has done lots of improvement, the last version of linux I used was mandrake 7 (only tried mandrake builds...) mandriva 2006 looks awesome!

Inkscape??? is it part of mandriva 2006 powerpack???

The _only_ thing that keeps me from using mandriva on my workplace is that I cannot find a good alternative to paintshop pro v7. (I already use staroffice in xp, never really liked office...)

Many would say: use gimp... NO. I do not use paintshop for retouching, but creating images. Especially I use it to create floorplans (I am not interested to make them with exact scale) and make simple plans of where to place objects in there. I equip hotels/restaurants etc. and I use those rough and simple scetches for the workers or the owners that don't really want to mess with to much info, just give a general idea. I use the line tools, the rectangles, square tools in vector mode...

Can this be done in gimp??? I once saw a techick to make a hollow rectangle using the selection tool, but that is too messy...

anyone have any advice for me????
