On Xmas eve Mandrake released iso sets (2 disks) of its Cooker "release". Cooker is the development version of Mandrake, with quite up to date packages. There is something on it here: http://www.distrowatch.com.
I have downloaded and installed the cd's. If anyone wants a copy please let me know. It seems good & stable so far, and I'm writing this on evolution 1.0 (very nice!!) Nick
