Mandrake 7.2

I've been toying with Microsoft's new MSN Explorer program. It's actually kind of cool, if you use Hotmail or MSN Messenger much. If you use Microsoft's services, it's a great tool, if not, it's useless to you. My one gripe, the thing that keeps me from using it for everyday web browsing, is that they've removed the status bar from the bottom of the screen, so you can't see the link you're about to click on. That pisses me off, you don't realize how much you miss it until it's gone. However, it's still a neat little program, and worth the download... I'm playing with Linux Mandrake 7.2 today. I like it, a lot. This is the future of Linux, in my opinion, distributions that are easy to install and use, with everything you need right there on your desktop. My only gripe so far is that I haven't gotten my Intellimouse working, which seems pretty stupid considering I know that both X Windows and KDE support it.
