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..."

      That's what your mother said, and I didn't let her do it either. Instead, I bent her over. I plan to do the same to you.

    I got ripped off bigtime by Mandrake. I wouldn't use them if my butt was on fire. They deserve to go out of business.

    "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.

    I and about 300 million other people say what is the "correct" way of saying things.

    If you want to post on the Internet you had better be sure your spelling/grammer/tense is correct or some anal-retentive A**hole will!
    I also read the post and yes I caught the grammar/grammer (which is it AR people?) mistake but I thought to myself maybe English is not his/her native language and made an allowance for that.

    All spelling errors were made by my fscking computer and not the ID 10 T sitting behind the keyboard.
