Download ISOs are available today for Club members and packs are also avaible on MandrakeStore." As Shipud puts it, "USB2 support... vive 2.6.3 !!"

Damn Microsoft Ads!

[jmulvey]

I knew those damn Microsoft advertisements would crash Slashdot sooner or later!

Damn!

[McLoud]

But I don't ever terminated the beta version download! Damn 2GB download, now I need to restart it again :/

I wonder if they were testing Mandrake Linux 10?

Kinks worked out?

[teamhasnoi]

My pal went back to 9.1, because 10.0 was 'flaky', as he put it.

Mandrake is just trying to trick people into thinking that it's OS X. It'll never work! Mandrake doesn't come with white spots!

Oh, guess that explains the last 15 minutes

[Neil Blender]

The slashdot crew was installing the new Mandrake on all their servers at once.

Maybe it linked to itself? Major Ouroboros moment there!

Never test on the release server!

[Anonymous Coward]

Scared me silly.

I had to turn on CNN to make sure the North Koreans hadn't nuked Des Moines!

[strike2867]

You didnt refresh in the last 15 minutes?

I thought it was armageddon

[zogger]

..heh heh, no lie, slashdot goes down, then my gnomedesktop froze, then I lost my landline connection, within like a minute or so! Man, I whipped on the shortwave to see if I should duck and cover or what!

Re:Pardon my ignorance,

[uloveus]

yeah it was down

it's all connected

[Njovich]

Slashdot was down so some geek finally had time to do the work necessary for this release. Thank you Slashdot for helping us out!

Re:Pardon my ignorance,

[johncheng]

Mandrake recently created a new category for their release called Community. The Community version has been well teste, and is supposely "good enough", but not "good enough" for production use. While this Official version is well... "better".

The more I try to explain this the more confused I get. I think they should just differentiate their products like so:

Mandrake DANGER-MIGHT-BLOWUP-EVERYTHING
Mandrake IT-WORKS-ON-MY-MACHINE
Mandrake GOOD-ENOUGH-TO-AVOID-LAWSUITS

Alarming Rise in World Productivity!

[SnappingTurtle]

Millions of hackers around world seen doing work. Sighs of "is it back up again?" heard in cubicles around the nation. Bizarre trend starts around 5:15pm EST, ends by 6pm.

In small backlash, office girls around the world report increase in bad flirting by guys with dorky hair cuts.

Meanwhile, Microsoft Super-Secret Tracking Server Explodes. "It appears that everyone opened Minesweeper at once", claims Steve Ballmer, "and all those Windows machines 'phoning home' about the application launch was just too much for our server to take."

"We were damn lucky that Solitaire launches are sent to a different tracking server", he added.

Re:Just Installed

[Jugalator]

Damn, they dropped support for proportional fonts.

Re:ISO

[Anonymous Coward]

you'll have to wait a few years for a real-world nano-assembled sexbot copy with bimbo-brain_v1.0, or a simulated "Matrix chick".

Does this mean man woman will finally work?

What the hell are you talking about?

[ThoreauHD]

The missing information is only in your head.

Who let him out?

[CyBlue]

"Mandrake official released" ? They should just thrown away the key.
