After weeks of trying to get limewire to work with Mandrake 8.1, I downloaded Napshare and it installed with a simple rpm with no fuss. Amazingly it works! I can now download Gnutella content in Mandrake Linux. Interface is rough, but you get used to it. Hopefully LimeWire will figure out how to make a simple install procedure which does not require all the uninstalling of the Mandrake wizards and installing the Sun java. What a pain, I dont have time to reinstall Linux when LimeWire hoses my pc.

Maybe I will try again when LimeWire get a simple rpm install like NAPSHARE.
