I'm no linux guru, but I understand most linux users like mandrake best mainly for it's cost(free download). Now, I do not know how good it is, but was looking at an OS called "Linux for windows" the way the box reads, It will set-up all the disk partitions itself, and it calls itself "the most user frindly linux on the market". Does anybody know anything about it?
