Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available!
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.
Not true. For file access within Mandrake, NTFS support has always been read only as writing is currently experimental and dangerous.
However, NTFS resizing is supported by Mandrake as the sourceforge NTFS team found a way to resize NTFS partitions safely.

The greatest thing about Mandrake 9.X is that it completely eliminates dependency issues... rpms are easy to install for those that don't wish to compile from source.
I've been running a cooker version of 9.X for many months and even that is surprisingly stable.
This is the kind of OS package worth paying for!
