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 asked from inside Gnome for a "shutdown" and it got me to the login screen again instead of shutting down. In the login screen, there is NO root user showing up in the mdk-DM user list and also there is no "shutdown" option to be found. How do I turn off my machine?
Root user is apperantly setup as a hidden user. You should have a config option for MDK-DM (which is based upon KDM, I think), where you can choose to NOT have root hidden.
They way you worded it above makes it sound like a bug.
