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).

Umm... Actually Microsoft has been selling updates SP1 versions of Windows XP for some time. Used them... They do exist! ;)

BTW: The only two systems that I have ran that are perfectly stable (for me) are Windows XP and SUSE 9.0. Of course everyone has their own configuration and experiences. (I am currently typing this on my freshly installed SUSE 9.0 box... Yes I tried Mandrake 10.0 and yes that's the reason my installation of SUSE is freshly installed.)
