wow
Do I feel lucky ?? After installing Mandrake 10.0 on my sony laptop pcg k13 perfectly the first time and having a better machine than when I was running windows xp,I mean this install was painless, I did have some help from a guy in selecting the disto and he suggested Mandrake.
The hard drive on my laptop died or was being seen after starting the laptop, after talking with Best Buy and getting the run around that it would cost 30.00 just to send it back to sony
and I REALLY DIDNT WANT TO MESS AROUND WITH SONY REPAIR because I had a nightmare of a time getting a dat deck (PCM-M1) repaired huge runaround and bad reports about getting the deck back after repair to only find out it wasnt ever fixed , anyways I digress here. I bought a replacement HD installed it and did a fresh install mdrk 10.0 almost evrything but memory stick reader and my cd player playing cds worked right out of the box so to speak.
Im a total Linux newb in fact I never even messed with DOS and I was lame at best at understanding windows, Im a big fan of jam band music Grateful Dead, Panic, moe. you get the idea . I also record live music and I will use this lap top to hopefully do 24bit/96khz recordings from bars and smaller venues using Audacity to start with and if I ever want to do multi tracking I'll use Ardour.
If anyone here has these interests get in touch
Thanks for your time
