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).

ADSL

Frankly, I've got to the point where I'll only install distros which include drivers for my ADSL modem (a common USB type). Linux distros who go on about not supporting or issuing non-free software aren't getting the important point that an incomplete product is an incomplete product regardless of their precious principles.

People just want their stuff to work.
