    How do I love Mandrake, let me count the ways.
    
    I recently reinstalled my work machine with mandrake 9.0 (much nicer than my
    home machine where I tried to upgrade!)
    
    Many services and features that were not working due to an inability to
    communicate with MS proxy are workig now due to better proxy support (and some
    manual file editing)
    
    For those of you (like me) who are so used to apt-get you can't stop opening a
    terminal every time you login, I have started using urpmi just like apt-get.  
    
    First check out plf.zarb.org/~nanardon and there is a way to select all the
    various sources (main, plf, cooker, unsupported, contrib) and the urpmi line to
    use is automagically created for you, just highlight, middle click in term and
    boom all your sources are added (very much like /etc/apt/apt.sources).  THen I
    HIGHLY recommend reading the urpmi man pages (urpmi, urpmq, urpmi.update etc).
    also get familiar with /var/lib/urpmi/ and /var/cache/urpmi as they are great
    sources of troubleshooting and "what's really happening beind the scenes stuff.
    
    urpmi --auto-select --auto is very much like apt-get upgrade.  Of course you
    shoudl update first but dont waste time updating all sources just update those
    that you've taggedd as being "update" sources (after reading the manpages
    urpmi.addmedia:-)
    
    also try out http://trylinuxsd.com/  it has some excellent how to's on some
    popular software and fun things to do with lots of pictures. It also assumes
    access to PLF and contrib sources (non-officially supported stuff).
    
    The site above has  a PHP-nuke walkthru.  I'm gonna try it at home on my lan to
    get familiar with it (I wanted a way to try MySQL since I'm tryingto learn that
    right now too)  Can we use PHP-Nuke for NFLUG?  It would be great to be able to
    update stories, How To as and keep a running dialog on topics we are interested
    in? (Darin give me a shout ! :-)
    
    Anybody good with QT and Nethack, the nethack_QT frontend is my favorite way to
    play, but Man9.0 has QT3 and it doesnt work since NH  looks for libqt.so.2
    (found in qt2.2/3) THe developer told me I coudl copy libqt.so.2 to /usr/lib
    and it shoudl work or compile NH for QT3, I can't find libqt.so.2 on andrake
    8.2 cd's (although it shoudl be part of KDE2) and I have no idea how to compile
    for QT3 (alkthough I did downoad NH source and am trying to read the INSTALL.
    files , if I make progress I'll let you know
    
    FLIGHTGEAR- Works great in Mandrake 9.0 and is urpmi 'able but you have to add
    a contrib source (see above) I added Buf airport and flew around.  Now I HAVE
    to have a yoke and pedals for X-mas!!!!
