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 found a nasty bug from somewhere RC1 and MDK10CE, where if you press the Import button and in the next dialog you press "Install Fonts" without adding anything, you will get back to the Fonts Tool pane, but most of its controls will be disabled! I reported this bug trought the Help->Report Bug tool.
This action could ocurr so easily that it amazes me that their QA Team did not catch it (they have a QA team, right?)
