At last, I've switched to Linux and must admit that it was a painless experience (once I got here).
Actually, to be honest, it feels like liberation!
DONE IT!

Well done 
Now go and play, see what you can break, see what you can fix, enjoy.
DONE IT!

Congratulations. Would you like to be added to the group?
DONE IT!

Yes please, add me to the group.
Sorry - since reading my post, it sounds a bit churlish, but I just had to tell someone.
BTW, is it easy to add a printer? I'm running Mandrake - with KDE - it seems that lpd isn't installed - so I found out when I tried to run lconf.
Any ideas?

See the Printing-HOWTO at the Linux Documentation Project site, the URL of which I would give if I was allowed to (though check first that it's not under /usr/doc/HOWTO or /usr/share/doc/HOWTO or something similar). [Note to moderator: these are pathnames, not URLs.] It contains a list of supported printers and says how well they are supported.
As long as it doesn't have a sticker saying 'Designed for Windows 98' on it, you should probably be OK.
Key: Complain about this post
