Mandrake Linux 9.2 Hits the Street

joestar writes "Just announced at Mandrake's website, Mandrake 9.2 (FiveStar) has just been released. Mandrake Club members get full access to 9.2 ISOs (through BitTorrent), as well as... all 9.2 contributors and translators. But the best news, in addition to all (impressive) 9.2 features is that everybody can access the traditional binary & sources tree! Public release of Mandrake 9.2 ISOs will happen at the same time as Mandrake 9.2 Pack availability in retail. It makes sense."

Streets?

If by "streets", you mean the gilded hard drive pathways of MandrakeClub's paying members, then yes, Mandrake 9.2 has hit the streets. For the majority of the public you're talking a release in 1-2 weeks.

You make technology decisions based on vague rememberings of something that you can't find evidence of?

Maybe you're thinking of the ads displayed during the install process rather than spyware? That's a pretty hefty accusation to be tossing around, even in a vaguely-worded statement such as yours.

The irony of bittorrent

As a MDK club member myself, I first applauded the measure to release first to us and then to everybody.

As I'm downloading it right now, I'm wondering however if releasing to everybody through bittorrent wouldn't have been a better choice, as that would imply faster downloads for club members as well ...
