Mandrakelinux 10 Now Available To All

Posted by timothy on from the congratulations-to-them dept.

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."

  1. Excellent Distro!!! by drsmack1 · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have upgraded from Mandrake 9.2 and I can say that this is the finest Linux distro made today. I bought Suse 9.1 and checked it out for a while; but went back to Mandrake. I am a club member and as such can easily install realplayer, flash, and Java right from pre-compiled rpms. URPMI keeps me coming back!

      Use the torrents - lots of geeks on expensive synchronous connections are waiting to donate bandwidth to you :-)

    I just spent two days downloading each file from FTP!

    Actually, I think the ftp install is more efficient. It allows you do skip the source RPMs and the contrib directory if you don't want it. You can also do a more unattended install because you don't have to keep switching out the cds. And...I'm pretty sure there was a script that made the ISOs for you. Damn, I just invalidated this whole story. Sorry slashdot.

    The /. effect should help the bittorent along greatly though. The more people who get http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/torrent/Mandrakelinux-1 0.0-Official-Download.torrent the faster it goes right?

    Community is like a final release candidate. They consider is stable enought to release but not to sell. All the bugfixes from community go into the official release. The official is the one in the boxes in the shops and is considered stable.
