Here's my story (Life of Brian ). Once upon a time...well some years back, to be more specific 5 years back...ehem, yes...One of my friends told me that he had hacked a railroad computer (though it had a backup so no harm done), and I asked how he done that and that was where he introduced me to the world of Linux, but I was not interrested. A year later I ran into Corel Linux and I thought: "Cool, I give it a try". It all went fine untill I read that M$ just screwed Corel Linux up...No more Corel Linux My first experience with linux (2 months)....and went back to win98.
A month ago I went beserk with an axe on my XP Pro and decided to give Linux another chance, so I simply ask in the forum I usually hang out (Dominions 2 Forum) and ask into which Linux I should choose, sum sumarum Mandrake :)
.....and they live happily everafter....
