It's the PPC version of Mandrakes i586 release, which came out before KDE3 had it's final release. Mandrake may like the leading edge, but not the bleeding edge. It wasn't stable enough and they weren't prepared to wait. KDE3 is available for download, but still has a few packaging bugs to be shaken out.

Next version will be good: KDE3, Gnome 2, GCC 3.1, LSB compliant.
