Linux Questions
Alright, I'm going to dual-boot my main computer between XP Pro SP1 and Mandrake Linux 9.0. I think I'll hold off on putting it on my laptop. I'm currently downloading the three ISOs (ahh, the joy of an Internet2 connection @ USF). Does anyone have suggestions about using it daily? And more importantly, does it support USB Audio devices?

Just some hardware problems. Adaptec updated their firmware, necessitating a driver revision that was included in Mandrake 9; if you have any older Adaptec SCSI cards, the installer will get stuck in an endless loop trying to probe the card.

Yeah it works with USB audio. I think you have to download extra stuff though. I don't use Mandrake, I use LFS, which means I have to download everything individually. Also I suggest you buy Mandrake, since when you buy it it comes with extra stuff, and will keep Mandrake from going further downhill.

Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

EDIT: That would be a pseudo LFS, since it's a precompiled and stripped down version of LFS (which isn't really compatible because of all missing components). I'm going to install real LFS, using Corelinux to compile it.

If you have two hard drives, you can set up software raid (on the root filesystem unlike NT).
