Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris 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).

Upgrade works a treat

With some concerrn I upgraded my heavily customised mandrake 9.1 machine that runs mail, web, smb and ldap servers plus a heap of dektop tools. To my relief the upgrade went with out a hitch it even managed to keep the layout of my desktop up yet upgrade all the icons and decorations around it. Very cool. BTW I have installed it on 3 machines and 1 of those required me to boot off the second disk while the others where OK?
