Subject: Linux_Mandrake,VMWare,Wine

I'm interested in the stability of the Linux O/S.
Mandrake appears to be the most user friendly and to be optimized for Intel
processors.
Wine and VMWare apparently allow the use of Windows programs, while running
the Linux O/S.
This seems to be the best of both worlds,the rock-like stability of Linux
and the flexibility of Windows applications.
I know that Wine and VMWare are not perfectly compatible with all Win Apps,
but I understand the developers are eager to help with all issues.
Does anyone have any experience,anr or feedback about this???
Does Linux allow approx. 30% increase in performance over Windows 98SE,
as I've seen at some sites????
Thanks in advance,
Paul
