Mandrake 9.0 for AMD 64-bit Technology

Posted by timothy on 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."

    Will it be enough to keep them afloat?

    Is anyone really running Mandrake on a business server? I thought their target market was educational users and the desktop...

      Mandrake is used on lots of business servers. In a business, time is money, so Mandrake's quick and easy installation is a huge plus point. I'm working at three companies and we use Mandrake everywhere, for servers and engineering work stations.
