Forget them and go back home, full up your fridge with soya drinks (or your favorite one, but remember that fast assimilated sugar shorten your life expectancy). It is time to test your new air conditionner limits, switching on all the computers sitting arround to test this new Mandrakelinux 10.1 beta! '. Software packages include: Linux 2.6.8 rc2, Glibc 2.3.3, Xorg 6.7.0, KDE 3.2.3 and GNOME 2.6.0."

  1. No KDE 3.3? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    KDE 3.3 is a big improvement over previous versions, especially regarding speed. The KDE project has released betas and will have a release candidate in the next couple of days. I wonder why Mandrake didn't include this in their beta?

  2. PS/2 Mice? by shfted! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Any chance that they got PS/2 mice working properly again? With 10.0, mine stopped working, while they worked fine in the previous release. 10.0 is really crappy.
