Mandrakelinux 10.1 Official Has Arrived

Posted by timothy on from the steady-improvement dept.

joestar writes "After 2 months of 10.1 Community polishing, Mandrakelinux 10.1 Official packs are now available for pre-ordering, but Mandrakeclub Members can already download these packs as CD or DVD ISO images. 10.1 Official provides improved hardware support, especially in the mobility area - with for instance full support of Intel Centrino-based laptops - as well as many other features. All in all, it's also certainly one of the most up-to-date Linux system currently available, and one of the most easy to use both for Linux beginners and Linux experts."

    Mandrake has an experimental distro as well, called 'Cooker'. It's usually very up to date and a bit unstable. (although at the moment, it has the same packages as the 10.1 Official release, i.e. KDE 3.2.3, but I expect that to change within days)

    Oh, and it's free to all...

    What are you talking about? That is 100% incorrect.

    The last couple of fglrx packages have installed just fine for me, without even having to exit the GUI (except to reinitialize the driver). Basically you just need to install the ATI rpm with "rpm -i --force xxxx.rpm", and then run fglrxconfig, as it'll tell you to do on the console.
