  1. Where is Linux-Mandrake??? by MsGeek · · Score: 1, Troll
    OK mes amis...I'm waiting for the official security update, and it ain't here yet! C'mon! Get on the stick, man! Debian, Red Hat and Apple have the update NOW, why do we have to fsckn wait???

    I am seriously looking at paying my money and getting the newest version of Libranet. I am enjoying Mandrake 9 now but am getting very tired of waiting for packages getting onto urpmi. It took Linux-Mandrake two weeks to fix Samba, and that was a pretty important update.
