MandrakeSoft has recently released the latest version of their desktop operating system. Mandrake Linux 9.2 Download Edition is available on their web site across three ISO files for the Club members. The first disk is about 650megs and the following two are ~700.

Some important things are missing from this and most reviews. How about a security check at Gibson research Corps Shields Up port probe http://www.grc.com . Mandrake 9.1 at the highest setting leaves all ports visible, and two ports open. None are stealth. This is unacceptable. I would like to know if this non stealth firewall setting persists in 9.2.
Also the installer installs LILO in the MBR master boot record of the hard drive. Only after it has been installed does the installer allow you to choose the boot sector. By that time the MBR has allready been altered and must be reinstalled from a windows boot disk (fdisk /mbr).
i am using mandrake 9.2 and i have only one port that
is not stealthed but it is closed.
sorry to disappoint u.
