Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available!

Posted by timothy on from the follow-on dept.

Not to load you up with Mandrake, but joestar writes "Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) is now officially available at a number of FTP mirrors. This version appears to be a key release for MandrakeSoft and includes many new features such as a new simplified installation procedure, ZeroConf network support, Wi-Fi support, NTFS partition resizing and a brand-new... MandrakeGalaxy theme. It's very beautiful and the whole thing has apparently very few bugs, which is a good news. A full presentation is available at Mandrake's website, download is available from their FTP page as usual. As I see it, it's certainly the most important Mandrake release since version 7.0..." Update: 03/25 21:44 GMT by T : And if you like the distro, you can do both yourself and Mandrake a favor by ordering box sets straight from them, or joining Mandrake's Club.

    'available' might be stretching things a bit.

      Yeah, the French server I'm downloading things from seems to be surrendering a lot.

    ...and I know this because the real Miguel is two doors down from me, and I know his real Slashdot ID.

    That I am very glad I get that 20 minutes warning with my subscription.

    I got most of the download done before the slashdot crowd reduced by speed considerably.

    maybe you should read your post. Sounds like you made quite a bit more of an effort than the parent. That's a lot of trouble to go through for a mandrake user.

    No no no, isn't that "Freedom company?" Like "Fredom Fries" and "Freedom Toast?"

    Does it take advantage of Intel Pentium III technology for that?

    Can we use it if we call it Freedom Linux?

    Wait a minute... Things aren't right here. I thought the formula was fail miserably, give up, pout, and sue someone. Not(gasp)suck it up, improve your product so that even Her Pickiness, Eugenia likes it and keep giving back to the community. This makes no sense at all. Good job Mandrake.
