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)."

Support Microsoft over Mandrake? Why, just because the French are percieved as snobby? Setting the merits of their respective products aside for the moment, which company would you say is more honest and a better corporate citizen? As far as their products go, which OS is more secure? If you can't see past your hatred of the French, why not support Red Hat instead of Microsoft? After all, choosing Microsoft over Linux is like choosing slavery over freedom.
