Gee and how would a newbie know that (I did) but aren't we trying to get new
users any more? This beta3 is a flop! and shouldn't have a link on the
linux-mandrake.com site. Since any new user seeing the LATEST beta would give
it a try....What a sad experiience that would be. for example over the
weekend change-log added 22 FROZEN! kdelib rpms that wouldn't get past the
rpm query hook? What are we trying for in the new beta3 it appears to act and
sound more like wintendo everyday! what happened, a new philosophy at
mandrake? Is this version intended for the euopean and 3rd world countries or
what.?
