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."

If you want a user friendly, awesome Linux, go use RedHat, SuSe, or Yellow Dog Linux.
YDL is the -best- Linux, IMO. It kicks some serious ass.
Twice as yellow and twice as stinky.

face it!
Patriotic Americans and other good people who value democracy should be sending a strong message to France that their intolerance and hypocrisy will not be tolerated, by boycotting French goods. This includes Mandrake. If you are looking for computer operating systems, I wholeheartedly recommend Red Hat, a Linux distribution made and supported by patriotic Americans and freedom lovers everywhere. If you support and/or use Mandrake, as well as other French goods, you are sending the wrong message to France that we as good, freedom loving people, will tolerate French injustice and hypocrisy. So do the right thing and help boycott French goods. For more information on the French boycott, see here, and here.

Daddypants must have let this one get by.
Remember, this was brought to you by E-pants.
Sometimes my pants are on.

That's why I have E-pants.
Maybe there's someone else named Linus, who said that? Just maybe, hmmm?

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Anyone know of a bit torrent link for redhat 9.2?
Please don't use the term "steal Linux," as it implies that anyone who potentially downloads it is a thief.
Yeah but the RIAA says anyone who downloads an mp3 is a thief, I was making a point.
t is very insulting and moreover an incorrect term to use in this context.
Yes I know it is insulting, thats why I picked that word because it seems like people equate downloading with stealing moreso than freeloading or sharing.
Even then, the company knew what it was getting into when it decided to try and sell a product that could be given away freely, so a "freeloader" in the traditional sense it not necessarily abusing the system.
They arent selling a product they are selling services. Mandrake is a services company, you pay for the code not the product.
That said, I've purchased two Mandrake retail products (@ USD70 each) in the last couple years. I'm not very social and clubs are too touchy-feely for me.
yeah thanks for supporting walmart, Mandrake prolly only gets half the money they could get if you joined the club.

The same way the RIAA says you are stealing if you dont buy music.
Look I'm not saying its stealing, but Linux is not free software, it never was.
Linux mandrake is a distro, people pay for it, its not free to develop it.
I never really thought 1 company would be successful selling free software, but there seem to be dozens. Color me surprised.
You are an idiot AC, they arent selling free software, they are selling services. The Linux industry is a service based industry, they dont sell products. When I tell you to pay Mandrakesoft I dont mean buy the stupid CD, I mean pay for the services, including the code production service. I mean you do want a Mandrake X dont you? OR do you want Mandrake 9 to be the last version of Mandrake ever produced? Its up to you.
