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.

This is the first ditro that I enjoy using on my 3 years old laptop (Dell P3-500,256MB).
Even though this is an alpha, I update it daily with Cooker and enjoy working with it.
No more problems with alsa, snappy interface. Great new tools in KDE 3.2.
I just hope that MDK won't screw up like they did with 9.2 which was a disaster at launch. Very poor quality control.
