yes indeed as a user since 5.3 I have seen huge improvements in 9.2 but then
the whole 9.x series has for the most part been great. Really those out there
who are complaining have more or less the same issues under redhat and suse
not to mention lindows.
However lindows and xandros use such old packages that really the kernel is
most likely the only thing up to date. Their kde sure isn't.

Yes this is true also I should file a bug report for the scsi being broke in
the kernel. I have three machines with two different kinds of scsi cards. All
of them crash trying to format the hard drives. So I know this is not
isolated in my case. I think i even two or three more systems I could test
this on.
These systems can not be tested with rc's because they are production boxen.
it's kind of damned if you do damned if you dont I guess. However on my
desktop it works great. The bad part is that due a scsi hard drive failure I
really needed to upgrade and well I was not able to and ended up having to
put up a whole new server without scsi. It's all on a 80 gig maxtor now. The
other systems dont have ide they are scsi only.
I will say however that 9.2 works great with nforce motherboards, game theatre
xp sound cards and ati radeons though. This is a first to have such hardware
working perfectly out of the box on mandrake.
Thanks guys for all your hard work. If you need help troubleshooting the scsi
problems I have three downed servers that I can test on.
