I'll have to give it a look, then... see what I can afford that's in the newer distribution...  I am getting an XP box for Christmas... I'll wipe at least 40 gigs of the 80 off of the HD and re-partition it for Linux... (and maybe have a part. for AtheOS as well)...

As far as reading your windoze stuff from in linux, it depends on the
file system type you have on your winbloze box.  The 2.4 kernel now
supports NTFS, Fat32, and Fat16, so that should cover any case you have.

Mandrake is really just a base RedHat with some minor touchups in the
graphical department.  As most people use Red Hat, I usually use it just
to make sure the stuff I do works in most environments, and I haven't
used Mandrake enough to say that I like Red Hat more than Mandrake.

I had been running Mandrake before something BAD happened, and my kids had cracked the install disk... but when I was running Mandrake 8, I could read from and write to my Windows partition from within Windows...
