Take note: LM91 beta 1 is now out on some mirrors. Now is the time to start testing YOUR hardware and configurations. It's a prime opportunity for you to make 9.1 friendly to your own personal hardware, and in so doing a real world killer distro. Please read the following repost from Sascha Noyes concerning

I would suggest to everyone who has an interest in the stability/excellence of 9.1 to make an account at https://qa.mandrakesoft.com. The feature that would be most useful to newbies is voting for bugs. If you are too intimidated in posting a new bug or comment on an exitant bug (which you shouldn't be), you can simply search for all unconfirmed bugs, and if you are experiencing them as well, you can vote for them. After two votes, a bug is marked "new", and the more votes a bug receives, the more attention it will get (and face it that is what you need for 'your' bug in the beta process). The process to see unconfirmed bugs is to click "Query existing bug reports", and then change the status field to "unconfirmed" and just do a search without any other parameters. Good luck, Sascha Noyes
