Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris OSNews was privileged to an early access to the final version of Mandrake Linux 9.1 Standard Edition and we were able to test it for almost a week now. Here is our review. Update: Added four screenshots. Update 2: Mandrake Linux 9.1 is out, read the PR, get it from mirrors, buy it or join the Club, from links found here.

OS or UI?
by Steve on Tue 25th Mar 2003 04:27 UTC

Why is this site branded as "OS News" when all Eugenia cares about is the UI? There's nothing wrong with "UI News" - uinews.com is taken, but uinews.org is available.

50% of the stuff I read hear is about fonts - any mention of how Mandrake 9.x would work as a server? Well, a mention of "thrash it as a desktop and I gave up on an ssh session", but do I know anything about this OS after reading this review? Not unless I'm a multimedia-intensive desktop user.

If this site was rebranded, I'd quite enjoy reading it; while it pretends to deal with OSes I find it totally frustrating!
