[Cialug] Happy Hardy Herron (beta) Day

[David Champion]

I've had very good luck with Mandriva on laptops. I specifially bought 
my current one with the Intel wifi chipset because I knew it would work 
with Linux.

I have tried Kubuntu, and it worked fairly well, but I stuck with 
Mandriva because I'm more comfortable with it.
