ymmv.  I liked most everything about eDesk 2.4 except that POS (oops,
my prejudice is showing) Lizard.  If you had had a SIS (also POS)
video card, as I did at the time, you'd know what I mean.  I had to
use the non-gui install method.  Lizard would puke, but Mandrake's gui
installer worked just fine.
