Comments on: Days of our lives http://larrythefreesoftwareguy.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/days-of-our-lives/ Preaching the gospel of free software -- free as in freedom, not "free beer" -- and true open source to steer the computing masses away from the evils of digital hegemony and enlighten them to the available FOSS alternatives.

This is a distribution that seems to be based on Mandrake/Mandriva. They still call the configuration tool DRAK. At any rate it is the first distribution that I have ever used that recognized off the bat an Atheros Wifi card. And was able to establish a connection with a network using WPA. It had been a long time since I had used a Mandrake base distribution, and I had forgotten how nice it is to have a centaralized administration tool. At any rate, it sounds like you had the same experience with Mandriva. Like your site, and I try to visit it now and then.
