I'm a total novice to Linux, and I would like to try linux out.  People
recommended  Mandrake to get familarize with the Linux OS.

Im not sure if my current hardware setup is compatible.  Here is the listing
of the hardware installed in the computer I'll be installing Mandrake 8.0.

Microstar BXMaster with intel BX 440 chipsets
Celeron 566 oveclocked at 850
128 PC 133 SDRAM
Asus v8600 Geforce DDR AGP video card
Built into the motherbaord Promise Ultra 66 controller
Linksys network everywhere 10/100 nic
Pacbell DSL
Soundblaster Live Value
Quantum Firball 20 gig , ata 66, 7200 Harddrive

I'm currently downloading the Mandrake 8.0 with ext ISO.

Which hardware intalled should I replace to insure installation of Mandrake
would run without problems?

Thanks!!
