I'm fairly new to Linux in spite of having a Linux based machine in my room for the past 2 years. I installed Mandrake 10, duel booting with Windows XP a while ago but never really ended up using it much. After trying to install the latest graphic drivers, I ended up messing up the X interface and all I got was a black screen. It took another 3 hours to figure out how to undo the mistake.I eventually came to the conclusion that Linux was free, and great for certain things, but best left to the uber-geeks who had the time on...
