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 tried installing Mandrake 10 yesterday and it was a long, frustrating evening. It crashes when I try to set the regional settings to norwegian at the end of the installation (I get a grey dialog box with no buttons on it and then I'm stuck), it crashes when it tries to start KDE (some unreadable error pops-up)...for me this version seems rushed. Too bad because I enjoyed Mdk 9.1 a lot (but 9.2 was already going down the hill, I didn't even try installing it since I have a LG CD-Rom and I didn't want taking chances)
For me it's also back to Suse 9, and hope they release their new version soon!
