I have got to admit for the first time since I switched to linux mandrake 10.1 has impressed me more than any other distro. All my hardware works for the first time. the only thing was I had to do a fresh install. And I had a few issues like konqueror didn't work which was a pain in the ass. But once everything was configured the system has been up and running for 2 weeks without a problem. Memory management is better than mandy 10 and just all around its awesome. I will never go back to windows now.
Distribution: Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.2, Windows 2003 Server/Vista/7/XP/2000/NT/98, Ubuntux64, CentOS4.8/5.4

The konqueror problem (and USB) problem you mention has already been fixed. Mandrake released a 200 MB fix. Basically it's a KDE package problem. Once you download the fix, everything should work okay. **knock on wood**
i do agree to Mojojo, mandy 10.1 is the best i ahve ever used in the mandrake series. by far!! the best and the most stable. i like it very much, now no more windows server 2003, had enough with the m$$ (a$$) people.
Mandrake 10 didnot like my ECS N2U400 motherboard (Nforce2). noapic / yesapic bios tweaking and no difference, install always hanged.
10.1 installs like a dream, everything works and amarok is a nice player (even plays .wma!)
Damn, now I will have to buy a copy, og maybe just join their club for a while.
If you have a fast internet connection you could have obtained it weeks ago.
It's been up on the public repositories but not always in ISO form.
For these all you need to do is download the images/boot.iso file and burn it to disk.
This will perform an install pulling from the internet.
It's slower than CD, but on a fast internet link it's not that painful especially if you minimize the packages selected initially (use the defaults) then install what you want once the system is up.
that went right over my head but Im excited enough that I have to ask if you could please elaborate for us n00bs who are interested in getting 10.1 official.
The only problem I have is the laptop support. It just doesn't go well with my Presariou 2100 series so I loaded FC3 which works wonderfully.
But on my desktop machine, MDK 10.1 is my first and only choice!

You can also get it on 4 CD's by mail from various sources. I found a source using Google, ordered, and had the CD's within four or five days. Total cost around $10.
I have to admit that's the first time I'm impressed by a Mandrake distro.
I installed version 10 but couldn't even have my ATI Radeon 9600 hardware acceleration work with it, while it worked fine with Fedora core 1 and 2.
Last weekend I Installed Mandrake 10.1 from the enclosed DVD that comes with the Brit magazine LinuxFormat and all my hardware was detected perfectly( nforce2 motherboard ). The installer even installed the ATI 3D hardware accelerator driver without a problem.
Great work Mandrake.
