Good Point.

Good review. The best of both worlds is using Win4lin on top of Mandrake 9.2. Then you have almost everything, including Frozen Bubble!

We use Win4lin, (Windows 98 on top of Mandrake 9.0), on a daily basis at my radio station to run Quickbooks Pro 2000. Except for games, we can run almost any Windows program we want on Windows 98 and at native speeds and with far better stability.

You can't put Frozen Bubble on Win 98?

I'm a little confused. It's very nice that you took the time to write this and a hafway decent review, but, why window$ 98? the whole 9x line is now a dead issue. And why Mandrake 9.2, again, hardly the best candidate to compare... Linux has progressed a bit since that. When you can compare something like W2K which is probably the most robust and useable Window$ version to a current robust version of Linux then we have a ballgame

Why windows 9x? because 95/98 are still the most home used os(s) followed by xp, now i don't think that is a dead issue do you? Windows 2000 was a flop by the microsoft coperation, it promised to be "the merger" between nt and dos. But like all programs the first was a dud, falling over itself with many issues like boot, stack handeling ect. We had to wait to for xp to get a resonable os.

and why mandrake 9.2? i waited untill there was a stable version. Mandrake 9 had the "non Adapti cd rom problem" that really f****ed it up, like all first relece versions and i assume becasue mandrake 10 has just come out it'll have allot of simular problems.

Why mandrake at all? simple. thats is nearly all newbies choices. And most people that are considering the swap to linux are going to try the jump to mandrake.

If you want a less half-arsed review between mandrake and windows just ask.

If you want me to compair a diffrent linux to a difffrent windows just ask.

well excuse me i have to go and preach porn on a fundementalist christian message board

Sounds to me you've come up with an appropriate name for yourself.

No thanks, your first review and comments are plenty 'half-arsed'.
