With Turbolinux 3.01, you can install the SMP kernel (after standard kernel installation) by simply going into the CD:/mnt/cdrom/SMPKernal and running./install. Reboot and you're SMP. It's the easiest kernel upgrade *I* have seen.
The point I was trying to make was that even an inexperienced, non-native English speaker can install Mandrake easier and faster than Windows 95/98/NT4,in whatever language.
My Chinese wife installed Mandrake 5.2 (in English) on her computer by herself acouple of days ago, no problem. She has yet to be able to do a successful Chinese Windows install.
I think it was the small Taiwanese companies hiring 20 year old girls to work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, 51 weeks a year for only a couple of hundred US dollars a month who were and remain responsible for the cheap hardware we all enjoy. Certainly, Microsoft had NOTHING to do with it.

Col. Mandrake (RAF) don't need no copyright!! You mess with him and he'll deny you his essence.....

You just can't trust an HAL 9000 series. Their operating system is based on code from Windows 2000.
