Reading all this makes me want to try Linux again.

I used Mandrake 8.2 but I never quite figured out how to find/install the codecs I needed for mplayer or got the balls to compile a kernel that would accept my Audigy. Plus, I had to do so much work in Excel that I was running WinXP most of the time anyway. I got rid of the Linux partition when I got a new hard drive.

I don't think I'm l33t enough for Gentoo, but I'm all for using a distro with GNOME. Such a pretty UI.

I need a Linux for Retards book.
