Go with Mandrake 9.1; it integrates with Window$ client pretty well 
and it's easy to use.

Why not 9.2? Other than a Samba glitch (easily solved), it works great
for me.

From my experience with Mandrake 9.2 on a laptop and the fact that 9.2 
will break the firmware on certain LG CD-ROM drives, I would only 
recommend Mandrake 9.1. Most of the problems I had with 9.2 on the 
laptop were due to power management issues caused by the newer kernel 
config. Also, already having the 9.1 discs is a plus!

Thanks to all for the suggestions. sounds like Mandrake 9.1 for now. 
(as Paul observed, with only dial up currently, choices beyond those 
discs I already had were not feasible) Besides, I like KDE and use OOo 
a lot so the the de distro is probably a good choice.)
