Journal Masa's Journal: Mandrake
Mandrake 10.1 is just awesome.
I'm a die-hard Slackware fan and it has been the distro of choice for me the last 10 years. But last night I tried Mandrake 10.1 on my HP laptop and I'm just stunned.
The HP ze4423 has some quirks and sometimes a Linux installation is quite an adventure, when I have to dodge all APCI/APIC/LAPIC/USB/PCMCIA stuff and try to find my way to successful installation. The laptop itself is nice and it works great, but unfortunately most of the Linux distributions have a kernel with some very specific kernel options turned on, which will make them incompatible with my laptop. But Mandrake... well, it seems to have everything set up correctly for my machine. Right out of the box. Amazing.
I didn't even know that there is Xorg driver for ATI Radeon IGP 320 chipset available.
