Mandrake Releases 8.2 Beta

Posted by timothy on from the gnice-and-kute dept.

The new features include the ability to install a Mandrake as small as 65Mb on the HD, and encrypted file-system support. I guess it's the good time to report all bugs we don't want to see in the final version. Very promising release, worth a look at!"

    3 options:
    • Post the release notes, and hope to be the first (easy karma!)
    • Post an "ohhh... ahhh" post
    • Post a troll/crapflood

    Are there any other possible posts? What do the editors wish us to discuss with this?
    Maybe there should be an "Announcement" for /. frontpage. It links to the info, without any comments allowed...

    Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!

    Hopefully Ximian will support 8.2...
    My friend (at my advice that Mandrake was easy to use) installed Mandrake 8.1 and it completed fskced his computer...MBR and all. Now he cant boot windows OR linux. Maybe this is because of XP? Any one have ideas? (and its not like you can mess up the Mandrake install that much)
