Well, i've been debating the idea of installing Mandrake Linux on my system, I'm a COMPLETE newb to linux, so hopefully using Mandrake will help me with the basics.
Firstly, I understand that Linux runs on a different file system, different from NTFS and FAT32. I plan to install it on a 2 gig HD, is this enough? And is the file system that Linux will be formatting my 2 gb HD be irreversable?
Secondly, wat are the main differences/fixes/updates/benefits of Mandrake 9.0 and the Mandrake before that? 8.2 (if i'm correct, correct me if i'm wrong) because I don't have 700mb cd's to spare, so i'm downloading 8.2 instead (which is 650 mb)
Thirdly, on the Mandrake site, it mentions that I only need the first CD for the main thing, but the other cd's are extra. Would anyone happen to know exactly wat CD 2 and CD 3 contain? i'm going to be using the system as a server, DHCP, file, and as a router, (similar to windows xp's internet connection sharing - ICS)
