 I had NDL up and running for a couple of months, and was quite happy with
it... but I had the urge to try out Mandrake, so I installed it over top of the
NDL installation and quickly decided I didn't like it as much. (A lot of this
is very subjective... the fit and finish of NDL is more polished to my eyes,
and I think Novell did a good job of 'dumbing it down'... which is good, at
least for my needs).

 So I was reinstalling the Novell version when I wrote last night... the
installation has finished, and I've pretty much gotten it back the way it was
before I got the urge to mess everything up.

 I'm doing all this on a replacement hard drive (for the Dell laptop)...
actually the 30 GB drive that apparently failed last spring-- which seems to be
working fine with the various Linux OS's... even though I was unable to format
it for Windows when it initially failed. I have the WinXP installation intact
on the 60GB drive I had bought when the original one seemed to have failed; on
this laptop model it's quick and easy to swap between them (under 5 minutes to
pull out the drive, install the new one, and plug it back in).

 But this is off-topic... anyone wanting to chat with me about my Linux
experiments, Windows on a Mac, etc, is welcome to email me.
