I'm running KDE on Mandrake Linux and have another HD with NetBSD that
on which I intend to install KDE. Comparatively, Mandrake is slower and
'buggier' than NetBSD. I don't know why. Also, Mandrake had some severe
problems with my ZIP drive (kernel panic) while NetBSD added it
to the list w/o problems.
I am hoping this new combination will be to my liking.
Thanks for your comments.
