Mandrake 9.0 (Dolphin) Is Available [updated]

Posted by timothy on from the swim-with-the-fishes dept.

joestar writes "What else to say? I've tested the RCs and they were great... There are two very interesting links: the Press Release, and a very nice presentation. From the presentation: 'Affirming its leading position in the Linux desktop arena, Mandrake Linux 9.0 introduces many newly redesigned graphical desktops and configuration utilities. The famous "Mandrake touch" is evident throughout the many clean, attractive and friendly desktops to make everyday tasks easier for all users of a Mandrake system.' And apparently it's already LSB-1.2 certified!" Update: 09/25 23:57 GMT by T : Apropos new releases, an anonymous reader writes "Parts of Red Hat's next OS have been unofficially leaked, as news.com reports here. The official release date is scheduled for next Monday, 9/30/02." Update: 09/26 00:29 GMT by T : Gaël Duval points to less-swamped links to the press release and to the Presentation & Features page. Thanks, Gaël.

    That's 30 posts in a row with no moderation! Fuck it, I'm burning off a little to say how come I get no mods? Is it the lameness of my .sig or the fact that I'm on a n00b distro?

    Why don't you do a little research? How about the Army scattering to the winds in Korea and abandoning their wounded and dead? The Marines picking up Army wounded and fighting their way out? If you really want to talk shit, let's go for some PT, little man. Run, swim, hike, whatever. By the way, which branch has the highest physical standards? Let's see here, I criticize an A/C for a really terrible post and you criticize the Marine Corps? That makes a lot of sense. Don't talk shit about the Marines unless you've done what we do. I've been to the BAC and actually worked enough w/ the Army to form an opinion. Are you even serving in the armed forces?
