While I'm at it, I have some questions.

Seems there is alot of filesystems to linux, which one is "best"? and where do I find them? Or should I go with the one which comes with mandrake?

Well, there are a lot of filesystems - some of them are possibly higher performance, some (reiser, I think) provide journaling, etc. If you're new to linux then you probably ought to just go with the default - there's books full of information about filesystems, and I doubt you want to go into them starting off.

I stumble on the web with a program called Wine, is it any good to run M$ application and other windows program with?

The more recent Versions of Wine I've heard some people speak favorably of. Note that with Wine, you generally won't be able to run any of the newer cutting edge games, because Wine will always lag somewhat behind M$ (having to play catchup).

Since I have zero interest in running M$ apps (to the point of uninstalling IE and OE), I wouldn't know about using Wine for that - from what I understand, some apps run okay under Wine, some don't. If you also have a Windoze partition, I'd think you're better off using them from Windoze, but if you get to the point where you're in linux most of the time, I can see where it'd be worthwhile to experiment to see which apps you can Wine and dine.
