I had a porblem with Mandrake, I wil tryin to use the windows emulator thing on it like x68 or something, I forgot I havent used linux in like a year, but anyway I was having a problem with that, so I think that makes Mandrake harder. But I will say that the interface of Mandrake is pretty darn simple
