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).

My reason for not keeping 10.0 an my laptop (acer tm662) was that every time X started the screen looked like pay-tv without a decoder - until you switched to terminal and back, then everything worked (except knotes, which crashed, but only when called from within kontact...). In RC1 everything had worked fine. Except USB. Erm, except the mouse, which did fine again.
Luckily I had kept my 9.2 partition. Right now I'm giving Debian another chance, this week I got X and kde 3.2.1 running for the first time
