Mandrake 9.2 ISOs Available

Posted by jamie on from the firmware dept.

joestar writes "Since LG has released updated firmwares and a recovery procedure for all so-called ATAPI LG cd-rom drives that were "destroyed" by a feature of Mandrake 9.2, MandrakeSoft has publicly released the set of Mandrake 9.2 ISO images which are now available on a number of FTP mirrors. Mandrake 9.2 is one of the few remaining 100%-OSS major Linux distributions, so considering a MandrakeClub membership or joining Cooker - Mandrake's open development version - is certainly an excellent idea." Here's the feature list.

  1. Good Bye Redhat! by Bill,+Shooter+of+Bul · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Redhat doesn't want my busness anymore, so it looks like a perfect time to try mandrake.

    Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.

      What business?

      Your usage of bandwidth?

      I mean, I use redhat too, but I'm not under the illusion that I'm doing them a favor in doing so.

      The $60 I spent on one release (7.2 I think) hardly makes up for the Gigabytes of data transfer I used when I downloaded about what? 3 other releases?

  2. OSS Linux Distributions by amcnabb · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Mandrake 9.2 is one of the few remaining 100%-OSS major Linux distributions.

    Whatever happened to Gentoo, Debian, and Fedora? The only major distribution that isn't completely open source is SuSe.
