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.

Yeah, it's looking good. Mandrake seemed to get better with each release. Didn't see anything in the review about the package manager - which was awful in mandrake 8.0 - the last version I tried. But, and this is a big "but", all I keep seeing everywhere, is reviews of new Linux distros, new versions of distros etc - but never hear of any new software. None of the big boys, macromedia, Adobe, Mickeysoft etc seem to be targetting Linux as a platform. When i install Linux, i then find it pretty useless except for bumming around in, much as i like it.
