I just tried the Mandrake 8.0beta2, "Traktopel", and find it quite nice!
'not getting out much this Saturday night, but can recommend this upgrade
for current 'drake users, the upgrade is simple and the drive's not wiped.
I've already upgrade to X4.02 manually but the new mandrake config tools
look way better, the installation choices are better, and more packages
work. Very recent codebase!
