I used Mandrake 9.1 for a little while then tried to upgrade to 9.2.  I
installed Gentoo the hard way and have learned a lot but still have a
long way to go yet.  Hard to teach a old dog new tricks but if I can do
it with the little knowledge that I had at the time, anybody should give
it a good, honest, put in the effort try.
