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 have an Athlon 1.5ghz on a Asus A7V 333 with onboard audio and the only disto's that detects my sound card right out of the box is Mandrake and PCLinuxOS.
With that said, I have had almost no problems with my installation of MDK 10. It's way faster than 9.2, more stable, and looks a whole hellova lot better.
I just wish Texstar was still packaging for Mandrake's distro. He built quality rpm's, but has sinced turned his interest to his own distro, PCLinuxOS.
