Mandrake Linux 10.0-preview edition pretty much defines the shape of things to come in Linux land in 2004. With Kernel 2.6, KDE 3.2 beta and XFree86 4.4 beta, it doesn't leave much to be desired. This article refers to cooker snapshot as of December 31, 2003. Please note that this release is not a beta release. This is not even an alpha release. Its just something put together to show what we can expect from Mandrake 10.0. This release comes on only two CDs so some of the packages are missing. And as there are bound to be lot of bugs in this kind of release, I'll be concentrating more on the usability aspect. So let's see if it is worth drooling over.

I have been using Mandrake since 6.5 in 1998. I use Mandrake 9.2 on a AMD Athlon 3000+ with 512mb ram and it runs good. I put the 12/31/03 Mandrake Cooker on a Pentium III 600mhz with 384mb of ram. It ran good and I was very suprised with its quickness. There was a very noticeable difference in speed. The future looks bright with 2.6 kernel. I have tried most of the major distributions but always came back to Mandrake because of my soft spot with it since it was the first one I tried out in 1998.
