I must say that it is bittersweet when new, more "user friendly" versions are released. It seems that every time something is made "easier to use," it becomes less user-configurable. I am NOT a Linux-master but I do somewhat know my way around and am trying to learn and as the newer versions of Mandrake are released, each with a more "friendly" install, etc, I see many power-user type features being dropped (bye-bye fdisk). Although I do not expect Linux to go the way of Mac OS, it would be nice to see more powerfull (though possibly harder to use) options left in even after more user friendly options are added.
