I agree Mark but... Yep. Gorgeous but slightly flaky on this old piece of crap. :-) For a beta operating system it's amazing. A bit hard to get it to start the first time and a total pain in the ass because all of the Mandrake partitions (except /boot and /) on all 4 of my hard drives are XFS which isn't supported apparently, but all in all definitely worth testing. I'll have to boot back to 9.0 soon and do something about that so I can access my music storage. Regards; Charlie
