Mandrake 9.2 RC1

Posted by timothy on from the speed-up-the-slowdown dept.

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."

    You must be new to Slashdot... Other neat Slashdotisms you'll soon be familiar with: Duplicate stories, spelling and grammar errors posted by the "editors", and posting of articles that the editors clearly hasn't even read. Still, it's all in good fun.

    Ooh.. Mandrake advertisments... How interesting. SCO needs to come up big for todays edition to be worth reading at all.
    Perhaps something like
    "oops, we just discovered SCO UNIX code in the GPL. All programs using it must now pay us $699 per computer using it. Act now, and get 33% off!"
