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.

    Makes me pleased that I joined their club in support of their distribution. I expect to be wiping my Redhat installation soon, cancelling my rhn subscription and making the jump.

    The new control panel looks awesome; I've been looking forward to being able to try out gcc 3.2 on a distro compiled for it.

    Good job guys.

  2. A computer company is slashdotted. by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 1, Redundant


    If Mandrake is so good with computer systems, why are both links slashdotted?

    I like Mandrake, but... it makes me think.
