Besides all the fallacious arguments about how facilitating crime should be legal, my favorite part of this piece of rhetorical crap would have to be the "They don't have the capacity to understand" remark. Yeah, some people have used computers since they were ten while others struggle to learn the ropes. Despite your arrogant little worldview in which you simply dismiss these people as idiots, they're not bad folks. These same probably know that "alot" is two words. "Fuck grammar." Perhaps they even realize that there is a chasm between the legal interpretation of technology-rooted issues and the way technologies actually work in the real world. At least he remembered to stroke the egos of the knowledge-equipped./-readers--the bourgeousie-elite of his whole warped I'm smart/you're dumb paradigm./arrogant shit
You've got to clear the mbr before you try to reformat under win2k. Just boot using a dos/win98 boot disk and "fdisk/mbr" that bad boy. Format away and then boot your linux partition using the boot disk that you (hopefully) made. Reinstall lilo onto the mbr with the "lilo" command. Everything should be golden.
I don't think "windows user-friendly" really sums up what this distro is all about. Mandrake has does nothing but innovate and improve as it has matured, just as the Linux kernel itself has.
Great example:
To my complete and utter shock, I was able to create a massive ReiserFS partition (yes, I know alloting 6 gigs to "/" is tacky) and then boot it after a restart. At that point I had full support for the second celeron cpu and onboard highpoint ata/66 controller on my abit bp6 motherboard. No compiling necessary. Everything worked with a minimum of effort on my part.
So, how many distros can you name that are this feature-loaded? And that won't require 5 iterations of the "patch" command against the linux source code followed by a careful compile that may or may not break what you've installed? That's what I thought.
