Bad review.

I don't get the negative line in the review.

What's wrong with a upgrade release which aims for better stability and more completeness?

Mandrake 9.2 is great. There's a lot of extra RPMs in contrib. This is the first distribution that I've gotten the music-applications (midi-sequencers and so) to work out of the box. The included 2.6.x kernel behaves strange on my system, but it does boot and run. Apart from the my only problem is that the content of the Gnome-menu seems pretty random and changes on a daily basis.

There's also plenty of important upgrades. OpenOffice 1.1 to name one.
