Mandrake 9.0 is out...hurray!

[spyordie007]

or found a good link...

 

[notfred]

besides the fact that it was compiled with GCC 3.2, is there anything interesting about it, or is it just a bunch of newer packages?

Aside from the newer Kernel and KDE 3 (plus compatability with more hardware) I dont know.

I want it because I tried upgrading to KDE 3 on my 8.2 installed and hosed KDE alltogether. This is my chance to redeem myself by starting clean...

I'd mirror it if I had it, and if my ISP wouldn't suspend me for too using too much bandwidth (I'm on probation already).

Got in via ftp, downloading at 14.6 kb/s. :disgust:

Gnome 2.0
OpenOffice 1.0.1 is standard
more highly optimized for newer cpus...


There's a whole list of cool stuff on their website.

eh, I'll stick with my redhat 7.2. I already put KDE 3.0.3 on there, don't use gnome, and I've recomplied most of the stuff w/ P3 optimizations anyway.

Cool. I just wish AMD would release a custom compiler...

I bet you're downloading it as we speak......



We all know you're closet linux user....

 

[fluxquantum]

cool. will have to try it sometime.

 

I just did the perfect Debian 3.0 install on my work notebook today. For the first time everything went smooth from install, to configuring X and KDE, updating the kernel, and setting up netfilter/firewall.

Debian rocks. I can't live without my apt-get.

DAMMIT!!!

I my mom needed me to fix her email, so I went downstairs to help her. Got back up here to see my ftp client connected to a mirror, but the last message was "Connection timed out."


ARGH!!!

 

[spyordie007]

... actually, if you go to ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake/iso you can see that they're bringing in cd3 of 9.0 final... they don't have the other two cds yet...

 

[spyordie007]

I've found several locations with the RC3 ISOs. Can anyone tell us difinitivly what the differance is between the RC3 ISOs and the "real thing"?
