Mandrake 9.2b1 Released, 2.6 Test Kernel in Cooker

DCowern writes "Mandrake today announced 9.2 beta 1 of their distribution. More interestingly, Mandrake has included a test version of kernel 2.6 in cooker (their development version). It's dated 27 July so it should be on all the cooker mirrors in the RPM2 directory by now. If you can't find it on your favorite mirror, it's definitely on ftp.sunet.se." Better yet, Bruha points to BitTorrent files for the 1st 2nd, and 3rd ISOs, and a link to the Mandrake 9.2 wiki, writing "Note that the beta1 installation uses the same kernel as 9.1 did, so if you had problems installing 9.1, you may want to wait for beta2 (which will use an updated kernel)."

is mandrake trying to push an unfinished product on us?
Those *jerks*! The nerve of them shipping a BETA release with bugs in it.
And here I am, sitting around like a fool thinking "beta" was short for "betar than the final release".
