Review of Linux Mandrake 9.0

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the newer-is-not-always-better dept.

CoolCat writes "It seems that Mandrake 9.0 has been surpassed or at least catched up by the latest versions of Red Hat and SuSE. OSNews has the review of the new Mandrake version and they have hit a number of bugs and problems. In fact, a number of Mandrake users in the OSNews comment's section agree that this release has been buggy and not a big step from version 8.2 or their competition. I use Mandrake for years and I really hope that the next version will bring us back the good ol' Mandrake we knew..."

    "Catched up" and "I use mandrake for years" although I use mandrake for years does make sense gramatically it shouldn't be used here. Nevertheless. I find mandrake slow, and bloated. the menues are stupid, though I like the fact that it comes with so many desktop managers. I would never use it for my primary OS. Possibly on a virtual hard drive, but never as my primary OS.
