Yes, I know, it's mandrake. But I'm taking a Linux Install and Admin class and the proff required Redhat to be installed. The Redhat 7.3 didn't work so well with iptables and email and everything.
So I decided to download and try Mandrake 10.0. I have used 9.0 in the past and it was ok.
But 10.0 hurts... my head... bad.
I went through the typical server install and loaded it up. Gnome wouldn't load, not even an option, IceWM is all that will load.
Then the hostname somehow got screwed up. /etc/hosts looks fine, but the hostname for all intents and purposes ended up something weird like x1-6-00-20-78-0d something or other. Mail, FTP, HTTP, anything that needs to resolve just doesn't work.
This was not worth the 4 hours and 3 CDs to burn. Yes I know it's a new release and not to expect much, but I didn't expect it to be that broke.
Anyone else tried "Community"? What are your thoughts?
