I was wondering if anyone would notice :)
Actually, I really need to add some documentation to that package
before I make any announcements. But before I can do that, I must
write some. And I've been busy with other things recently.
If anyone tries this and can't figure out how to do something,
please post the question here, and I'll reply. Maybe that way,
I can document things which actually *need* documenting.

I think "upgrade" is a good choice of words. For the type of
work I do, the combination of Linux, GTK, and Eu are very much
more productive.

Mandrake, absolutely.
I've tried several ones, Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, SuSe, and MDK.
Mandrake, followed by SuSe, would be my choice for the uses you
describe.
If you can support Mandrake by buying a boxed set, that would be
good. If funds are scarce, you can get a 3 or 5 CD set from
http://cheapbytes.com for a few bucks. I highly recommend them,
always have had good service.
If you have high-speed internet, then you *might* download one of
these, but I don't recommend that at all. You'll miss out on literally
thousands of programs - some great, some not so great. If you get
the CD's, they're there, when you're bored, you can try a few.
