Not sure. Definitely running GNOME not KDE. KDE is too complex for
little old me ;-O Also please note that I don't have a dual boot
system cos I think that these are constant hassles.

I would like to install a virtual machine with, say, Windozzzzzzs XP
Professional with all the latest updates. I DO have original cds but
not sure about how to do the updates. I have, over my lifetime, grown
to loath and detest Windozzzzzzs -- too many BAD experiences with it.
**I LOVE MANDRIVA !!!**

Well, I never knew that !!!!

I am busily trying to config www.dropbox.com with my system. I have it
installed on both my Desktop pc server with Fedora 12 and my HP Laptop
with Fedora 12. Something is wrong with my desktop setup and it will
go into the computer shop on monday (18 April) and will be collected
at around 3pm from my home.

I am a firm believer that when things like this get too hard, I should
leave it to the professionals. ;-)))

If you would be kind enough to assist Zane of Tasmanian Computers,
Hobart to reconfigure www.dropbox.com --- then we would both be very
happy. ;-)))
