I have completely skipped Mandrake Linux 9.2 because previous versions of Mandrake Linux were not exactly that "glamorous". However, I wanted to try out the new Linux kernel 2.6.x on my new Linare PC and so I decided to give Mandrake 10.0 Community Edition a spin. Here are
some quick thoughts on it on how MandrakeSoft has earned back my trust with this release.
Update: MadPenguin
reviews it too.
UPDATE 2: More bugs, more bugs. I have changed the rating of the software because as much as I keep using it, I find more and more and more bugs all over the place. MandrakeSoft should REALLY sit down and think hard about their QA department (I have already emailed them about it).
I had no deep problems with mandrake linux previously. I had 2 machines with intel cards and Mandrake was first one to detect my sound card correctly! only after that red hat and other like suse(it never detcted it correctly though).
My experiences with mankrake has been very good so far. It is my most fav distro with Redhat/Fedora coming next and suse coming third(for me suse has always been problematic even now on my toshiba laptop i have hard time ) .
Mandrake looks and feels good from the start. Hope this new version bails mandrake out of it's crisis
