Using Mandrake 7.0 for a couple weeks now without problems.
Tried to install WordPerfect 8 for linux yesterday and KLyX today.  No
success.
KLyX seemed to install ok, but I don't know how to start it.
I tried KAppFinder but found nothing about klyx.  For a friend who has
slow modem, I tried to copy a folder from a linux partition to a fat32
partition (my zip+ drive configures for windows only).  I did this with
two kfm windows, dragging and dropping from one to another.  It kinda
stalled and then froze.  I couldn't do anthing but kill the X server
with the alt Cntl Backspace combo.  BTW, I'm logged in as admin because
I'm installing software, or trying.
Since then, Netscape freezes, kfm still freezes at times, and rebooting
hasn't helped.

On another point, I don't know if the kde vs. gnome is an issue for
anyone else, but my love affair with kde is eroding.  I think I like the
file manager of gnome a little more, but starting it causes many desktop
icons and associated tasks on the task bar to be generated-- not a
pretty site.

I think I just need to take some time away from my computer.  Linux does
wear on my patience at times.

Last point, does anyone really know about program installation?  No
offense, but I'm beginning to think that the people who really know
linux don't waste their time with linux questions like mine.  

I think I'm gonna go out now for a double of Belgian dark chocolate.
