OK, I have a few beggining questions before I download Mandrake 9.1

What is in you opinions the best all around media player?

I have integrated graphics will it work?

When I install Linux, will it almost automatically partition for me?

Whick is the fastest site to get Mandrake from?

And lastly, when I install stuff, will it be like windows where there is a wizard?

Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

smash:
if it helps, i want to share a partition, will this slowdown linux?

Faust:
1) xine
2) almost definitely
3) yep but it's probably better to do it yourself... partitioning advice can be found on google, at the linux documentation project or elsewhere on this forum.
4) whichever mirror is closest to you/has the best bandwidth!
5) close enough to... actually in my opinion easier.
just double click the .rpm file and there you go...
6) share between two OS's or share on a network?  either will cause no slowdown - sharing over network may slow you down if everyone grabs 700 meg isos of you every 3 seconds but that would happen in any OS.

Welcome to freedom!

smash:
Thanks, I mean to share a between Os's.

Faust:
So only one OS will use it at a time?
No slowdown at all.   :D
