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).

The installation procedure is not bad. The only real bug there is the time/date thing.
The 4th CD is a design decision from MdkSoft, because the paying members have access to 5 CDs instead of 3. The third thing you quote is the "instal new software" utility, NOT the installation of the OS.
So, yeah, 9.5/10 alright.
