Mandrake on Walmart PCs

[Jerry Feldman]

That would be a basis for my rejecting it as a good distro. 
(Preaching to the choir):
A person should NEVER on any OS run as the priviledged user for normal 
operations. Always use a personal regular priv account, and become 
supewruser when need to. In Unix/Linux - su, sux, sudo et. al. VMS had 
similar ways. 

The problem when moving Windows 9x users (especially those who never set up 
a profile on Windows) is they really do not know the difference between a 
system admin account and a regular user account.
