Um. MDK doesn't write acpi support. acpi4linux write that. MDK just patch it into the kernel. We already use their latest code, there's nothing else we can do. > - improved Notebook/Laptop support with hibernate/suspend native support!!!! > (for me is very very important!!!) Again. Out of MDK's hands. We already have the best support available - latest APM, ACPI and pmsuspend code. > - Support for new PCI-X bus > - improved support for USB-2 > - improved support for S-ATA 1 and S-ATA 2 (with hardware RAID support)!!! Nothing to do with MDK. This is kernel code. > - Special support for new CPU: Amd-K8, Amd-Athlon64, Amd Athlon64FX, Intel > Centrino, new evolutions of Intel P4....?!? There's already an AMD64 Cooker branch. Check the mirrors. What "special support" would you need for Centrino? Centrino is marketing hype, it's the the Pentium-M processor, which is perfectly well supported already. What "special support" would future revisions of the P4 need? > - Special Kernel support for HyperTrading Tecnology.....??? Um.

See: http://www.gnome.org/~drc/gimp-rpms/ Already in. <snip more pointless lists of new releases which will of course be included> - look, all this stuff is already in Mandrake. OF COURSE 9.3 / 10 will have the new versions of it, what do you expect, no updates? This email was practically pointless. Honestly. -- adamw
