Based on 2.6.3, I think that this is the first distro to use the 2.6 series by defult. I could be mistaken though. Debian has had sid packages for 2.6 for a while.

What exactly does "extra CDs downloads and even a DVD ISO!" mean? I dont use mandrake, what the FUCK does that mean?
Oh, and BTW, they refer to themselves as editors.
And they modify text all the time, by omitting parts and adding their stupid little comments to them. They modslap opinion and users whose opions they dont like.
None of this would matter, except that they want people to PAY for this site.

It does... Even though it's tagged as "3.2.0" it's really 3.2.1 (all the fixes from CVS have been integrated).

Kernel 2.6.3 (unless you use kernel-linus) in Mandrake includes many of the patches that will be in 2.6.4 (if you use Thomas Backlund's kernels, you'll get even more of those, along with pre-emption).
KDE "3.2.0" in Mandrake has the 3.2.1 fixes included, despite being tagged as 3.2.0.
Gimp 2.0 (or something similar) is in contribs and has been for a long time.

This script was able to make a DVD image from the CD images.
It's for Red Hat, but works with Mandrake too.

What follows is the development process for our next major release, Mandrake Linux 10.0:
1) After the traditional debugging of several Beta and Release Candidates, the final version of "Mandrake Linux 10.0 Community" will be released in February/March. This version will be available for download and as a DVD-set through e-Commerce.
2) Then a Mandrake Linux 10.0 Stable branch will be opened, based on Mandrake Linux 10.0 Community. Security updates and bug fixes will be applied to this tree and will be publicly available in real time.
3) Two or three months later, in April/May, "Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official" will be created from the Mandrake 10.0 Stable branch. It will then be packaged for several products such as the Mandrake Linux PowerPack. Mandrake 10.0 Official ISO images will also be available for all contributors and Club Members; then, after a short delay, Mandrake Linux 10.0 Official Download Edition will be made available on public FTP mirrors.
Re:KDE 3.2.0 Faster...If you set it up right. (Score:3, Informative)
I can say that on my system at least, it had some significant gains in speed from KDE 3.1.x, aside from speed gains from the new kernel. I'm using Debian and didn't bother updating the kernel to 2.6 for a while, but in the meantime did do the kde 3.2 and experienced a pretty good speed increase. Though there was even more when I finally did update the kernel - in fact I did it after playing with a test release of Mandrake 10. 3.2 plus 2.6 had such a great effect together I had to have it on my main system.

- IMHO, great print subsystem (kprinter/cups) -- certains aspects of W2k/XP seemed umm.. hacked on (ie usb printer setups)
I beg to differ. I've been having problems with my printer lately on Mandrake. Unlike in XP, where a printer icon waits in the tray, I had to go through. Cups is great - if you're on a network with print services with a Linux guru available. I'd like it if there was one program I could go to to access all the print configuration. Next version?Still, the print system is excellent - great output and wonderful if I need to print remotely (like from work/school). It just needs some loose ends tidied up.

As of right now I'm downloading 102 k/sec. If...and I repeat *IF* you were actually able to connect to one of those slashdotted ftp mirrors, do you really think you'd get downloads of 102 k/sec?
In my book, any file transfer technology that can give me 100k/sec under a good slashdotting is a file transfer technology that works VERY well. Especially when you take into account that webservers can't even seem to transfer static webpages under the load of a slashdotting.

1) Corrupted download--do the md5sum's match up?
2) CD burn errors/defective CD media
I once had a CD for Mandrake Move that didn't want to load up. It would always hang in the same place. I burned another CD and viola! No problems.
Before you go blaming them for having "such a lousy installer", perhaps you might do some basic troubleshooting. Who knows? The problem could really be "lousy CD media", or a "lousy corrupted ISO", or a "lousy CD burner", or "lousy burning software". In my case, I was using Easy CD Creator 5.something and have had TONS of problems with bad burns on various brands of CD's and files that checked out okay. But who knows. Maybe the burner is broken. *SHRUG*
Maybe I'm incorrect in assuming that you haven't isolated the problem as definitely being a software bug, but you didn't mention doing any troubleshooting. Am I wrong? I hope so.

Juk is nice, but lacks an equaliser (or I just haven't found the Arts plugin box...)
I use the similarly styled amaroK [sourceforge.net] - I can see it being included in KDE in the near future.

Big advantage is that kernel 2.6 is on the installation cd's so it's installed automagically. You don't have to compile it yourself..
