Congratulations to the AIR team, Mandrake Linux 7.0 really does all it said it would! Personal Good Points :- 1) GFCC on the CD - IPChains has never been sooo easy 2) ISDN Support in the kernel (not just with packages) The installation even includes ifcfg-ippp0 AND ifcfg-isdn 3) DrakeCONF is real easy to use 4) Detection and installation really does excel. Personal Wishes for 7.1 :- 1) Modem and network card installation. At the moment you can only choose one or the other. And on a similar note the modem is not ifup'd, so no crypto support is available. :-( 2) DiskDrake doesn't allow you to change the detected type without a reformat - eg I have an ext2fs SCSI (sdd1) drive and DiskDrake detects it as VFAT32. To change the detected type in DiskDrake it tells me that it's going to have to reformat the drive. It was supposed to be /home on a previous installation. I'd hate to see what my other machine with a drive dedicated to /var is going to do! :-) 3) No option to easily select services (eg httpd imap snmpd etc) without searching the whole list of packages to install. This is even on the Expert, Server selections. Thanks again to the AIR team, as two of the good points were requests to the list from betas..
