Mandrake Linux 9.1 is another big step forward for MandrakeSoft and Linux. After my introduction to Linux while writing the "Newbie"ginning article I was impressed enough to stick with it. At the time I only had it on one computer which was basically a glorified stereo. Now, due in part to hardware changes, I'm running Mandrake Linux 9.1 on 3 computers. The best way to describe my experience with 9.1 is...WOW! MandrakeSoft has done it's homework. Mandrake 9.1 has a professional and clean looking interface and it's easier to use than ever. This article isn't so much of a review as it is my experience installing and using it. I'll let the pictures do much of the talking. It should be noted that while I now have some experience (5 months) with Linux, I still consider myself a newbie.
