Hello Peter, I'm Peter and I'm also in Indy this week! I've got Mandrake 7.2 and am very pleased with it. My friend just burned the Mandrake 8 (latest release) and was not pleased with some of the stuff. He mentioned unconfigurable fonts in abiword or kword. I've got 7.2 on my laptop with me and also at home (az) on the 'big' box.
