Mandrake 9.2 RC1

RabidChipmunk writes "Mandrake 9.2RC1 is out. Go get it with bit-torrent and speed up my download. I like the idea that posting to Slashdot could actually speed up a download. It seems so wrong." If you're on a slow pipe, don't underestimate the throughput of the postal system. Mark Walker writes "Mandrake Linux 9.2 RC1 is appearing on mirrors as I type this. We're currently downloading it from Mandrake, for http://www.budgetlinuxcds.com."

    How about not joining, using, or paying for it? Sounds like a good option to me. There are lots of companies out there making Linux products that aren't asking for money.

    How do I know they're not using the club to give their CEOs higher salaries without changing the status of development? How are they accountable to their users?

    Mod parent down.

    What karma whoring. I have never heard this quote attributed to Linus. The source of it is somewhat sketchy, but it surely wasn't Linus.

    Hey thats your loss AC, just because you like using things for free doesnt mean free will continue to exist if you abuse it. If everyone were like you, then there would be no Linux, I mean if it were all about free, well Linux would still be commandline.

    Why dont you go use your pirated copy of Windows, its free and its designed for people like you.
