anacron Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I got my Mandrakemove CD in the mail today, popped it into a Win2K box, and 5 minutes later, KDE desktop heaven! My daughter & I played Tux Racer for a while (my wife even took a turn piloting the penguin into the pines), and now I'm surfing. Very easy, very intuitive, very impressive!

scoopy Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Yes it is a nice piece of work. No problem booting on my machine, whereas another live CD based on Mandrake needs those "geeky" command line options to boot to a gui. I gave my MandrakeMove CD I burnt to a co-worker to discover Linux. I can't wait to hear how it goes. Their family reboots.... uh... I mean... runs ME and has no idea other OS's exist.

anacron Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 (edited) First unpleasant discovery... 128M RAM is barely enough. Machine with 192M runs much better. 256M+ should rock. [edit]RAM upgraded. 256M does rock.[/edit] Edited May 5, 2004 by anacron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 yeah, livecd's can get pretty RAM-hungry, but that's because it's loaded in the ram.... i have a friend who actually is running a system without a hard drive. just gnoppix! but he has like 15 computers...eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
