Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1

Posted by michael on from the keep-both-pieces-when-it-breaks dept.

leviramsey writes "MandrakeSoft has released the first beta of the next version of its distribution. It features XFree86 4.2, KDE 3.0, GNOME 2.0, and is compiled with gcc-3.1, which (alas) makes it incompatible with a fair amount of commercial software."

    Works beautifully in WinXP (once you patch the refresh rate thing)

  6. weekend stories by timothy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm sure you're right about the reason so many people didn't notice that story. Rather than a "weekend updates" (simple reasons -- I think that would be too self-referential, too thin, and extra work :)), what might be a nice option is to turn on a list of say the last 5 stories in the same topic / section to appear beneath the current story.

    (So a story under Articles / Debian would show the last 5 articles also posted under Articles / Debian .)

    However, if you have a particular implementation idea in mind, note that discussing it here and with me is next to useless: visit Sourceforge and file a feature request :)

    Cheers,

    timothy
