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.

The "ugly dark squares" around the bullets of the Word document are a very special OOo feature known as fields. They signify variables like if you insert the time or date. In Word, bullets etc. are static but in OOo, you may notice that you are able to delete the bullets but still keep the formating of the paragragh.
Same with numbered lists, which are even better than the bulleted lists because nested (oh yes, you can nest them too!) number lists look REALLY impressive to Word users. ;]
