Mandrake Linux 9.0 didn't receive a favorable review from OS news .com. Is it better to wait for 9.1 or go ahead for 9.0? And how do I upgrade an existing 8.1 to 9.0. Delete the /, /usr mounts and reinstall? Please help. Thanks in advance... keshav ----I love 9.0 but have to use it on an older machine because it doesn't like the chipset on my newest computer but 8.2 will work flawlessly on it. Not sure if any problems would incur if you choose 'upgrade' when you put disk one of 9.0 in. It worked for 8.2 but I actually prefer a clean install.Agreed - go for the clean install. Anne
