As seen at Mandrake's website, Mandrake Linux 8.2 Beta seems to be available for download at different places.

That should be "from different places."

The new features include the ability to install a Mandrake as small as 65Mb on the HD, and encrypted file-system support.

It's not clear what number "65Mb" represents. The combination "a Mandrake" is nonsensical. One way to fix these problems would be to rewrite the phrase as, "to install Mandrake in as little as 65MiB." There should be no hyphen in "file system."

I guess it's the good time to report all bugs we don't want to see in the final version.

It should be "a good time." The use of the word "we" here is unnecessarily inclusive.

Very promising release, worth a look at!~

This is a fragmentary sentence that I would expect from a commercial advertisement. What is the tilde doing at the end of the sentence?
