Absolutely. Everything feels more snappy. But mine is a fresh install, wiping the entire hard disc of a very messy system from multiple upgrades (8.2 -> 10.1). Don't know if that matters, though.
it runs well here too. much faster then debian/gnome/ubuntu for example on this average 2003/4 hardware.
And - as usual - lots of good new stuff while breaking many things that worked perfectly in previous versions. Back to the CLI...
if you are lucky enough to have your hardware supported out of the box and enable the sources from PLF/easyurpmi it is the most complete distro for home users i ever tried.
And that damned, drunken penguin....Ridiculous.
Daffy Duck. I'm not sure what the joke is supposed to be, or what 'Limited' means, but IMO, both suck!
i saw it as love-drunk, enamoured welcoming clown, bringing some empathy to the often lonely user. of course this can get on your nerves, so maybe there is an easy way to choose a replacement.
You can for everything but your bootloader. Otherwise SOL
Well, all my hardware is supported, but I still use my 6 CD set because I can't find Club Commercials (like RealPlayer, Adobe Reader etc..) on the Club mirrors.
My troubles - so far - is :
1. The USB subsystem doesn't work - still. I have to disable this HAL thingy and mount everything manually.
Hardware Application Layer doesn't do anything other than inform the kernel about hardware presence. It doesn't mount/umount anything. G-V-M (gnome-volume-manager) is the likely culprit. IMO, a step backwards from magicdev, but supposedly better for hotplug USB devices. None of which I'd own to begin with. You might run 'gnome-volume-properties' (as user an root) an see if the options suit you.
2. The menu editor is defunct. Have to run "update-menus -v -n" every time I add an application.
Menus are now XDG. Supposedly WM apathethic. With 10.2 it most often worked that compliant packages were added, sometimes took a minute or so, sometimes a log out/in (KDE).
On the other hand, it's the first time in all my Mandrake years that I have sound without editing lots of files. All in all a great improvement from 10.1 (my worst Mandrake ever).

Probly due to HAL, G-V-M, an D-bus
