I have a amd 3200+ can anyone tell me if there is an 64 bit mandrake edition? I've checked out the mandrake website, but i couldn't figure out if 10.1 was for amd64bit. Anyone ?

Mandrake 10.1 64 is still beta..

Mandrake 9.2

If you install mandrake 64 be careful with URPMI installing 32 bit packages instead of 64 bit ones..

Do you have any idea when the offical 10.1 will release >? And i saw that site of mandrake 9.2 for AMD 64, bit i can't seem to download it anywhere ?

Its not that beta software does'nt work or anything like that, go ahead and install it.. I think you need to pay for mandrake 9.2 for AMD 64..

Mandrakelinux-10.1rc1-CD1.x86_64.iso
Mandrakelinux-10.1beta2-CD1.x86_64.iso

Wich one should I download and what's the difference ?

You'll want to download rc1, which stands for "release candidate 1" as it was released after any betas.

mandrake cycle = BETA (1,2...) -> RC (1,2...), OFFICIAL (which you have to pay for nowdays)

I just saw that 10.1 offical was released today for amd64 but you may never be able to get it unless you pay the $126 US (ouch).
