GNUrag dude i dunn even knw ABCD of linux

i installed linux for the first time abt 3-4 yrs ago when i was 14 something and it never started in graphical mode

it was stuck in dos and asking for root pasword and them at a dos prompt like thing

so i thot for 2 yrs tht tht was linux!!

and then i got mandrake 8.1 3 cds installed them abt 3 times and then realized how to use the graphical mode by boot in graphcial mode sdirectly as user *** from the installation process

then tried a few things in here and there

btw i never commented tht PowerPC thing

it was written at tht source of tht link, so i copy pasted it here

hope u din mind

I wonder that's possible.. Distrowatch lists 50 GNU-on-top-of-Linux distributions right now.. There might be hundreds of more unknown distros in the wild.
