Mandrake Linux 9 is finally released!
Mandrake Linux 9 is finally released, available as ISO download!
The network traffic bandwidth is currently really jammed  .I got a speed of about 4kb/s..... Man, let me wait for another mirror :rasta: . There's rumor around that Red Hat Linux 8 will be coming on Monday. Two distros within one week? Looks like it's a good test (and stress) of web traffic. |

Red Hat 8 is also released.
Again I better wait for a better mirror to download the ISOs. Finished downloading Mandrake 9 already, now it's time to backup my data and try.  EDIT: There's a review of Red Hat Linux 8 over the OSnews.com website, check it out: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=1842 Last edited by zero0w; September 30th, 2002 at 15:14. |

Yeah, I think so too.
Still there's an article about some troubleshooting with USB on Mandrake Linux 9.0, you can check it out at Mandrakeforum.com: http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article...d=2459&lang=en |

Here's another review of Mandrake Linux 9 over here:
1. Mandrake 9.0 First Impressions http://www.ratedpc.com/review.asp?id=63 The author seems to be very well-informed about various desktop configuration issues: including font setup, theme modification and installing drivers. The screenshots he posted look very good and professional; obviously he had done some serious tweaking and customization which (in my opinion) provide such a consistent feel and pleasure outlook. I am actually even more impressed with his another article: 2. Linux On Desktop (highly recommended) http://www.ratedpc.com/article.asp?id=59 Beware, it is a long read with 21 pages. Also, for the absolute Linux beginner, the article linked to a demo walkthru of Mandrake 9 installation process over here: 3. Mandrake 9 Installation online demo http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/dem...ke9.0/Install/ In any case, I hope you guys find the articles useful and helpful in your journey towards Linux.
