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 best way to compare is to see in same time two brothers growing...
I just had a new HD and it was the perfect time to try this new OS
After a buggy test of mdk 10 (does anyone could use xmms without a core dump ?? among others)
I just tried the development Core of Fedora2 :
ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/development/i386
And even I do not like the new philosophy from RH I must say no comparaison can be done: faster, better worked around etc..(except the Gnome 2.6 still in early stage) it looks already in a better shape than the 10.0 from Mdk.
Comparaison can be done...? Wait and see
I return for now to Debian
