I just set up my pc to multi boot with Mandrake Linux on one of the partitions... I'm looking for what you guys recommend are the most useful programs that will give me a good smooth start with Linux as it's my first time on it! As you can see I have overcome the challenge of setting up my awkward modem already but are there any programs or tips you have for me?

It all depends on what you are into. Obviously not CLI apps, so i would suggest xmms for music, gimp for graphics, mozilla for browzsing, any IM software u like. Ifyou do wish to play around in the command line, cdcontrol is perfect for music, lynx for browsing, and then a few text editors like vim (vi improved), and learn to code in C so you can make your own apps. Nmap is always a fun toy, mostly if u have multiple computers on a LAN.
Basically its all a matter of taste and what types of things u plan to do.

*edit* oh yea nano(text editor) might be better for you , being your first time and all

You've prolly seen these before, but they are some of the best there is. They are all a part of the OSDN (Open Source Development Network).

Just FYI Dissy, Mandrake User isn't being updated anymore. Not sure if you saw that or not, I'm not sure when the last update was.
