Mandrake 9.0 for AMD 64-bit Technology

Posted by timothy on Thursday March 13, 2003 @08:13AM from the it-yet-lives dept.

Wister285 writes "Mandrake Linux has released a version of their operating system that is compatible with AMD's 64-bit x86 architecture. This version is based upon Mandrake 9.0. In addition to this, Mandrake announced Corporate Server 2.1 for AMD64 to be released in April 2003 and MandrakeClustering for Opteron in June 2003. Although they say that you can download the operating system now, I cannot find any FTP servers. The press release is located on Mandrake's website."

Since Mandrake is French they probably prefer staying bouyant.

Thank you for another glaring example of why Linux sucks.

Pear-shaped linux geek:
"Why would you use Apt4RPM? You just need AKRN compiled with KRKS with scripting disabled. Either that or use QQKRHJKSIMABIGDUMMY. If that doesn't work, a simple shell script will update your dependencies. Its so simple."

Windows User:
"Click on Setup.exe. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go make out with my girlfriend."
