   One of my downlinks at the time told me, upon hearing of my frustration with   
   Red Hat, that friends don't let friends use it.  I still have it and Mandrake   
   10.0 around here somewhere.  Mandrake was much better, but the serial routines   
   in it were buggier than May in June, so they went into my "DO NOT USE" section.
