Thank you.
I just installed my first Linux system, Mandrake 8.1 on a Compaq Athlon and after fighting different hardware issues, finaly got it running (although not shutting down properly).
"Cool" I thought, now let's get Seti@Home running. Boom. There's no evident way of installing apps. No error messages, it just. doesn't. run.
My Microsoft worshiping brother is looking over my shoulder chuckling madly. His opinion of Linux after watching me for an evening: "It's... quaint."
