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 don't understand that this cooker is the first one with working sound for you. I started using linux with mandrake 9.1 and there it works exactly the same as in the cooker, just choose the i810 driver during installation.
I haven't read it, but it has a big advantage to 9.2. You can test your screen resolution during install!
You just have to take the effort to check everything during install (one of the last steps).
