It's a RH copy. I tried to install Lorax (aka RH 6.1 beta), but i's a bit
braindead. The network bootdisk didn't enable PCMCIA, and the PCMCIA
didn't let me choose network install! 

I thought Mandrake 6.1 was supposed to have a graphic install, too. Maybe
that only applies to local CDROM installs.

I like Enlightenment as an idea, but it is SO bloated.

I tried to install debian a few days ago, just to see what it's like, and,
not to start a flame war or anything, it annoyed th HECK out of me. Took
me an hour just to get to the "Insert Second Floppy" part... I'm wondering
ifthere's a "Fast Install" option.
