There had been an earlier thread (on NEWBIES, EXPERT or FORUM can't remember
which) where the chat centered around whether or not to release ML7.2 with
some KDE2.0 pre-release version or to wait.
Later there was a comment that the decision had been made to go with
whatever KDE2.0 was available and update as soon ad KDE2.0 and have a
"release follow-on" or updated release (can't recall the exact words).
Finally we have word of people seeing/buying it in stores a day before the
message was posted that the real final release (with final KDE2.0) would hit
the mirrors today, the cheap CD's a couple of days after that and the boxed
distro's a couple of weeks later.
I believe that some of these posts were from "nobody@mandrakesoft". I am
new to this process and these reflectors, but that name sounds like and
anonymous posting name for Mandrake to get info out without tying it to a
particular individual at Mandrake (do I have the idea right?).
Confusing - maybe not to some, but certainly to me. ;-)
Apologies for the vagueness as to references, but with the sheer volume of
posts coming in on NEWBIE and EXPERT reflectors I delete just about
everything of a non-technical nature so can't backtrack and be more
specific.
Cheers,
-rick

Hmmm, I would find it very weird if they would package a beta
for retail. If it was 7.2 final it would have KDE2 final also
and by looking at the ftp site it is KDE2.0-1mdk some parts of
it are 2.0-3mdk. According to Dennis (at MandrakeSoft), there
is no way that's right. I'm not saying it's not true but that's
what I was told. I like to see what kernel is being run and
the version on the kde from kpackage to verify for sure.
