This ain't Microsoft, y'know! (-: I can guarantee that Mandrake won't fix *all* bugs, since every one of the thousands of packages they're bundling is essentially evolving under their feet, but they'll probably fix *enough*. They have to strike a balance between currency and safety. With 9.0 the balance was just a tad too far towards the currency side, with 8.2 the balance was pretty good. Wait and see. If you're worried about bugs getting through, the obvious thing to do is grab an RC2 ISO, install it on some machines, and start finding, reporting and following up on the suckers. Cheers; Leon
