anyone heard about the new mandrake os? it's the whole os on a bootable cd (like knoppix!) based on 9.2; personally i think this is cool. i love mandrake (but haven't successfully installed it due to my ntfs partitions), it's easy to use so this may be another os that we can suggest for noobies wanting to get into linux without the committment of a full install.
