Zwar werde ich es versuchen ,tankeschoen fuer ihre hilfe. Mandrake-user

Interesting point. I am leaning towards suse for my server simply because it seems a more commercially orientated product and I need one that is going to be around plus I can get local technical support if I need it. I would try building my own computer and have done so with somebody watching but I need to get up and working. As a business user there is a limit to how much time I want to spend becoming an It expert. On the other hand this forum is great which tends to make mandrake attractive for that reason alone. Initially I bought one of the mandrake box sets and found the manuals etc from a newbies point of view completely underwhelming and little use. I had a very basic problem setting up the software that evenually I got sussed with the help of this forum despite some numpty telling me to RTFM which was a bit difficult as I couldn't get beyond initial set up. From a purely personal point of view I want a commercially successful linux distribution that I can depend on. From a small business point of view any alternative to windows has got to have access to something like the range of manuals etc you can get with windows or if necessary some method of training staff. In a way linux has quite a good business model, try for nothing and if you like it buy it with more bells and whistles if that's what you need or keep the basic and keep playing. I also need to make sure I pick a file format for storing scanned files and other information that will still be accessible ten years from now. kind of rules out ms office It's a different concern when you are planning that far in advance future proofing comes in to it a lot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your saying that you build your own computer,I build my computer and before I started I try to get all info. about hardware that will work with Mandrake Linux. When just get a computer I don`t know what I get for my Canadian $,so I talk into me to build a computer.

What should I look for to install picture in to boot theme? Thank can any one me please. Mandrake-user [moved from Everything Linux by spinynorman]
