http://www.mozilla.org/releases/stable.html The 1.X series are the development releases with six week alpha/beta periods, the 1.0X branch is for upgrades to the stable release. That said, as a desktop distro it makes more sense for Mandrake to follow the 1.X branch, as the stable branch really means having a stable APIs for embedders (AOL on MacOS) and repackagers (i.e. Netscape 7). It's designed to guarantee minimum changes and is therefore less likely to break things API-wise. I also assume Galeon etc. are following the 1.X releases, so it makes sense for Mandrake to package the same. ian.
