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)."

  4. KDE menu lacking by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Mandrake, please, please leave stuff in the menus alone!
    From version to version you always change what's on the KDE menus, I use a program and now it's gone, then wait! It's back next version, please leave it alone!
    Please make security updates easy, one RPM, some click on a link, notify by e-mail with a link, when I click on it it launches a program that verifies a PGP sig for you and then installs a RPM and we are all updated, would blow away MS for security! and make sure the security patches don't crash anything, just minor adjustments NOT TOTAL PROGRAM UPDATES!! get it?
    and get Xine working better, thanks

    Oh and the US has never had links to the IRA and never allowed the IRA to raise funds in the US.

    Every nation has its dark secrets, France is a democracy like many others.

    As for "being at the mercy" of a nation Linux and Open Source software is written worldwide. All each company does is package it up neatly. Is it any wonder people want a choice given how the US government has failed to tackle a huge monopoly like Microsoft? you might think Microsoft is good for the US but they quite often buy up companies laying off the workforce.

    Dear fellow patriots ...
    we all look forward to a world united under the flag of Freedom, Democracy, and the American Way


    I hate to burst your bubble here, but is the American Way, led by the principles of freedom and democracy and free market capitalism, to give people the freedom to choose what they want? To let the market decide which products are bad and which are good? To engage other nations in dialogue and promote the values of liberty and democracy?

    Was America not won from the British, supported industrially, and motivated ideologically by the French? Did these two countries not have a very good relationship for hundreds of years?

    Oh, sorry, when you say The American Way, what you mean is the Neo-Colonial Conservative way, that belies instead in the preservation of successful American private enterprise for its own sake, the flattening of all who disagree with you, the curtailment of civil liberties and outright arrogance, and the selective use of tariffs to protect American industry against foreign competition, regardless of what you tell the rest of the world to do.
