    mandrake linux

    ok i want to install mandrake and right now im downloading the mini install from linuxisoth but im wondering what do the mini install have? do u ink the install will be enough for a newbie in linux?
    i live in south america and have 128kb connection that sucks so yeah i dont want to download the 3 cds from the full install

    anyways im going to install windows again and make another partiotion for linux
    do linux work ok with ntfs partition or should i do fat32
    do u think 20gbs would work good on linux? i have an slave harddrive with all my files so im not really worried about losing all the software i already have installed .

    I'm not sure what is included on the mini install, but if you want to be able to read and write with ease across windows and linux, i'd format as fat32 and not NTFS.

    Just to note, Mandrake is no more. Call it.. Mandriva ;\

    If you wanna try another small distro, try DSL:
