As you'all know, I have always felt that Mandrake is a "cutting edge" distro. When a new release comes out, I will only install it on an experimental box, and then only if I really have the time to mess with it and find if I can get it working to my satisfaction. If anyone is interested, I still haven't installed any flavor of 10 because I don't have the time to deal with the new set of problems that seems to be cropping up (and 9.2 works perfectly for me, across numerous installs). Whether the problems are kernel-related with 2.6, or Mandrake-tools related, or a combination of the two, I don't know. 10 works perfectly for a lot of people, and is a major PITA for others. If you like living on the bleeding edge--go for it. If you only have one box, my own opinion is that you should install 9.2, unless you have a piece of hardware that will absolutely, positively not work with 9.2. Or, install SuSe, which tends to be a generation behind Mandrake, although you can still have issues that are kernel related (and SuSe tools and layout sucks, compared to Mandrake's). Just my worthless opinion e
