Posted by timothy from the no-you-go-empower-yourself dept.
linuxbeta writes "The latest major release of Mandrakelinux, 10.1 Official, is now available for public download! Empower yourself with all the new and stable 10.1 features. Mandrakelinux 10.1 comes with a great selection of software which we have covered at OSDir in our wide selection of screenshots of this distribution. Our screenshots include Installation, Desktop, Taskbars, Menus, and Configuration on the default KDE. We've also grabbed some shots of the GNOME, WindowMaker, and IceWM desktops for your viewing pleasure. The Mandrakelinux Move 2.0 Live CD was also recently released and we grabbed some shots of it for you."

    • I was about to call it, too, but instead I'll comment on your .sig:

      You know you've been IMing too long when you almost say 'lol' out loud to a non-geeky friend...

      One of my friends say it all the time. All. The. Fucking. Time.
      Reading a comic? *chuckle* "Lol".
      Dammit.

    Not only a dupe [slashdot.org], but it reads like somebody from Mandrake's marketing team hung it up here. That in mind, where's the steak knives I get if I ftp right now?

      Perhaps but I am not too offended by seeing a Linux distribution being shown on slashdot. I would have loved to used Mandrake in the past but their latest distros were giving me lots of problems in detecting my SATA hard drive.

      Has anyone had similiar problems, and has it been fixed with the new release?

  • can somebody tell me what the download link is without having to join the mandrake club...
  • So how exactly does this software empower me ? and what sort of wattage do i expect to see as i am empowered ?
  • How come Mandrake 10.1 is shipping with software which was already outdated back in the 10.0 days? For example, gaim is at 1.1.0 but they still ship 0.8. What gives?

      copyright and probably patents my dear boy... it ships with the old version and to update it, you uninstall it and add PLF to your sources of software were all the yummy goodness that Mandrake can't put in the distro can be found.
      • You don't even have to uninstall it. It's called Easy URPMI [zarb.org]. Follow the directions, then do 'urpmi --auto-select' as root, and maybe once a week do 'urpmi.update -a' and then the auto select thing - if there's updates, it updates, if there aren't, it doesn't.
    • We have to add mandrake 'cooker/unstable' mirrors to get a mandrake rpm of the current gaim, or firefox. Whereas in Fedora the new release of gaim, firefox, etc are updated when you update your system, in their main mirrors- not unstable. Anyways that's my one big complaint with Mandrake.

  • Try setting up networking(during instalation) with an unsupported wireless card and you will get into an infinite loop. And how about the error message it dispalys - some crappy error happened on line xx in the blah perl script which the end user is least concerned about.
    Another problem with free software like Mandrake for non club members is that they dont tell you upfornt at the begining of install that your scanner won't work because it involves a firmware which aint free software and you can find more
  • Aren't we at 3.3.2 now? I understand not putting out 3.2 right as it comes out, but isn't it stable enough?
