Question

[StreetSmart]

I know www.linuxiso.com has many distros, but my burner isn't working
properly, were else can I get a copy of mandrake? Other forums suggest first
timers buying the distro, because it comes with user manuals and
instructions. But I still don't see allot of stores selling the distro.

Definitely, at least as far as totally free (as in beer) distros go. If you
want
to pony up some dough for something that requires a *little* less fiddling
(proprietary drivers, Flash plugins and all that), then you can go with
Libranet
or Xandros, or you can even buy the Mandrake Discovery Edition which comes
with
everything you'll need for a full desktop experience (aforementioned drivers
like Nvidia, Flash and Java plugins, etc.). Mandrake detects and supports
almost
all newer hardware, I even have it working with my digital camera and Visor
(Palm OS).

There is a very good-sized Mandrake community, the mailing lists are
populated
by very knowledgeable and helpful people.
