That kind of thinkin can often backfire. Many times in the
past, the early cooker betas work fine on _most_ peoples systems.
For those it doesn't, bugs are filed and 'fixes' issued. What
happens is that the fixes sometimes break or deteriorate the
current cooker for the _most_ that weren't havin problems.
OTOH, I wish Mandrake would do away with RC's altogether. Many
delay tryin the new release till it's at least at the RC stage.
BUT, by this time in the development process.... it's _way_ too
late, the distro in in deep freeze.
RC2 is due this Sunday, Final is due next Thursday. Both those
dates are already a week to ten days past the original schedule.
My guess is that RC2 will become the final. That's often happened
in the past. If you have any beta or RC1 kept cooker current, as
of this weekend you'll be _very_ close to 10.0 Final.
'Course this time, reality has been injected. 10.0 Final is
really Beta 1 for the commercial 'Official 10.0' box sets to come
a month or so later.
