“The Unofficial Mandrake Linux page provides clear, step-by-step
instructions for performing a variety of tasks on your Mandrake
system, like setting up ethernet, installing rpms and tarballs, and
compiling source code. … There are a lot of sites with
how-tos and tutorials, but the Unofficial Mandrake Linux page is
the first site I’ve seen that keeps those who are less than
ubergeeks in mind when explaining things.”

“The best thing about the Unofficial Mandrake Linux site is that
it doesn’t try to get all fancy. Though I’m not a big fan of black
backgrounds, which this site has, it is mercifully bereft of any
graphics. Just the facts, ma’am.”

“The UML page… explains how to do lots of cool and useful
things on your Mandrake box. The most entertaining for me was
removing the “shop,” “search,” “myNetscape,” and “security” buttons
from the tool bar in Netscape, and adding a “find in page” button.
Trust me, it couldn’t be any simpler than this guy makes it.”
