Which goes right back to my original statement (that no one wants to understand): Mandrake needs to control the amount of change in the point releases.

I've said it as many ways as I can.

So this is a major release, but it's numbered 9.1 because:

* 9.1 uses the same glibc as 9.0.
* The 9.1 binaries will be compatible with 9.0 systems, and
* It still uses kernel 2.4.x

Hope that helps. It made a big difference to me.
