Mandrakelinux 10 Now Available To All
EvilAlien writes "Mandrakelinux has released the ISOs for Mandrakelinux 10.0. Mandrakelinux 10 is one of the first commercially available Linux distributions to feature the 2.6 kernel by default. As always, you can download the release via FTP or Bittorrent. Remember, if you use Mandrakelinux, join the club or buy a box to support them."
It becomes impossible to open a 100k HTML file once it gets slashdotted... god help that poor soul that is trying to download those huge ISO files right now.
nooooo! I hadn't finished downloading it, great, there goes my downlaod speeds. Hey people! the swedish mirror is the fastest one! Go download from them, er I mean from here.
/* oops I accidentally made a comment, sorry */
With BitTorrents of CD & DVD ISO's transporting data over all these fancy high speed lines, do you ever long for the good ole days of having to install distros like Slackware on 3.5 floppy or sending off in the mail for a Walnut Creek CD to load up linux via your fancy new 1x cartridge based CDROM?
This way to the egress...
Every so often, I pit one OS against another. I picked up a copy of Mandrake 10 from Linux Format. Of course it was the download version, but I saw it and I had to check it out.
The French and the Germans battled it out yet again on my PC. As usual, the Maginot line crumbled instantly as the Germans, with their technical superority *from LAST OCTOBER* (SuSE 9.0), totally cleaned the floor with Mandrake 10.
And thusly, I cleaned Mandrake off the drive.
Hello SuSE 9.1
This again proves that you should get your food from France, technology from Germany, and women from Poland.

Heh... reminds me of that deoderant commercial... "Mandrake: strong enough for a man, but made for a woman"
Check out that features page, it says it includes ATI, NVIDIA and Matrox video cards. Just what I needed, a linux distro that comes with free video cards! woot!
Here's one:

In Heaven: All the police are British, all the mechanics are German, all the lovers are French, all the chefs are Italian and everything is run by the Swiss.
In Hell: All the police are German, all the mechanics are French, all the lovers are Swiss, all the chefs are British and everything is run by the Italians.

The first time I heard a joke like this was in reference to European unification about 15 years ago. One guy says to another, something like, "My hope is that unification will mean all the police will be...". After which some other guy says something like, "Yes, but my fear is, all the police will be..."

There. Now they are the same length. Can't we all just get along?
Debian's package manager is bigger then some distros.
If you want the stardestroyer of package managers, then enjoy.

Hello, Mr. Gates. Welcome to slashdot, and thank you for your informative comment.

1. Enjoy your job
2. Make lots of money
3. Work within the law
Choose any two.
If you get any replies from people running mandrake 10, the problem must have been fixed at some point. ;)
But Mandrake is french, and "m" and "d" are at the same distance of the space bar on the french keyboard. :)
...
Ergo, In France, keyboards makes go along YOU

Warning: these packages aren't updated anymore, they've been merged into Cooker, which will become 10.1.
The university's admins must hate me for linking my page on /. :-)
What's this package 'foo' that everyone keeps talking about? I can't find it anywhere :!
