Hi guys,
I have a question , today i finally got my linux mandrake 8.2 partition working ( not that its a hard time )
Well my question to you guys , is what should be the first things to set up or to install , what are the handy proggies you guys use....

any thing is welcome , also some practical information about those nast .tar files is welcome ( i know i could found info in other communities or google but thats to hard for a noob like me :-) )

then another thing , i always learned its impossible to vieuw a ntfs - partition ( my WinXP) from linux not even with a mount thingie or something like that ,
wel anyway , if somebody knows a way to do so , without earasing data from my current partitions , fire youre suggestions away :-)

Ehm i think this is it ( for the moment )

thx in advance guys

cya around
