Same thing happened to me at my aunt's house for Thanksgiving. I spent 3 hours fixing her PC while everyone else was having fun watching the Cowboys game :(.

Her PC was totally hosed, and after trying to for an hour to clean up the mess, I decided to reformat and reinstall Windows.

As for the original article, no problems with that stuff here....I'm on Mandrake 10.1 Official running Firefox for Web browsing. Mandrake 10.1 is the best Linux desktop I've seen, and I ain't going back to Windows.

I would advise anyone using Linux, or thinking about using Linux to give it a try, it's super!

We said GOOD RIDDANCE to MS Windows in my house over four years ago! ...nothing but RedHat Linux, and FreeBSD here.

I've heard the new Mandrake build is pretty slick. Trouble is, I don't have a spare machine on which to play with it. Don't want to mess with a dual-bott, either. I need to find an El Cheapo PC for just that purpose.
