The learning experience will be valuable.  Also, I'm running Mandrake 8
and I've been very pleased with it.  This is the first time I've ever
run a kernel from an install.  I've always had to rebuild in order to
get all my hardware working.  Mandrake 8 set up all the following
properly:  cdrom, cdrw, bttv capture card, printer, usb scanner,
parallel zip drive, external usr modem, monitor, scrolling mouse.  Of
course I had to tell it the right answers in some cases (3 button
scrolling mouse).

Believe me you'll be better for the effort.  You'll have a better
understanding of how things work and it will help you in the future.
