ronss · 07-28-2002, 07:30 AM

anyone have any idea when the next mandrake will come out. any info on other linux distros is also aprreciated, mainly red hat and suse i quess.

i am hoping that the next version of mandrake will support idie raid, believe it now supports sisi raid if you can afford the drives

Mandrake is a distribution. Linux has supported both hardware and software RAID for a long long time.

thanks

i quess what i mean is that the mandrake distribution doesn,t support idie raid. would make it a lot easier for some if it did, red hat 7.3 and suse 8 have it in the dristribution. suse 8 is extremely easy to set up idie raid

later ron

I guess new Mandrake will be released because of KDE3 and GNOME2. Both of them are ready. They may wait till kernel 2.4.19.
I think the new MDK will be out in 2 months. Last time, when 8.2 was released there were 2(?) betas and 3 release candidates. I think this time it'll be similar.

As far as I remember KDE3 was out in the same time that MDK8.2 . It's hard to put such a big thing in a distro in a short time. And KDE 3.0.0 wasn't perfect. 3.0.2 is much more stable...

i agree that kde 3 not perfect. it freezes on me at times. later , got to get to workl

I'm using 3.0.2 and no single crash/freeze. But it was compiled from source..

ronss · 07-29-2002, 01:49 AM

have heard good things about 3.02. might download it tonight and give it try. linux is getting better. later

3.0.2 is good. Maybe try RPMs, compiling is very, very loooong.
