I think this release is very important for Mandrake.
I think every release is important... Anyway, I have some fresh figures. I am running a Mandrake mirror, and a RedHat mirror. Traffic is equal these days, or mandrake is actually 5 % more for the last month than RedHat. This is quite an improvement for Mandrake compared to about half a year ago, where redHat was double of Mandrake. I think this reflects the success of MDK 9.1. best regards keld
