      > I figured it would be funny because Linux distros make constant releases while microsoft delays and delays and delays.

      And when MS does finally release people complain about forced upgrades.

    Another good news for the Mandrake community is an announce from Mandrakesoft that due to the stock resumed trading on Euronext on last Monday, with a nice increase of +10.00% in three days.

    I presume this means something along the lines of: more good news for the Mandrake community is that this new release has caused Mandrakesoft's stock to resume trading and is up 10% in three days.

    Could the editors at least make sure the posts are readible?

    Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years.

    Well, and as long as you're quoting that particular song, you should quote the line that applies to the many fun times I had trying to get Mandrake to properly recognize my Thinkpad's wireless network card and video adapter:

    I would sure like to know more, than a mere blanket statement like , "KDE kicks crap out of so&so"

    I think he means that KDE is a bully, always beating up other OSes. It's rude, unfriendly, and difficult to control.

    Aparently, KDE's parents didn't give it enough attention when it was young.

  13. I almost wet my pants..... by 0mni · · Score: 3, Funny

    When I read this I wanted to skip the rest of class for the day so I could rush home and get Mandrake 10.0. Honestly I'm a die hard Linux supporter but out of laziness I'm still only a newbie, Mandrake is easy for me to set everything I need to, the Internet connection sharing makes my tiny home network a breeze to run and I feel much more secure with the knowledge that I am impervious to script kiddies.

    IMO Mandrake is going to become the desktop solution for windows migrators who need to have ease of use as much as anything else.

    If Mandrake 10.0 has been advanced as much as 9.2 did from 9.1 then this dist should be getting damn near perfect for what I want. Not that 9.2 is all that far from it.
    Sigh....if only I had a hill close enough by for me to shout from.
