Mandrake 8.1 - The Sweetest Thing

[Warren Togami]

I've been testing Linux Mandrake 8.1RC1 since last week, and I would have to
agree it is VERY GOOD.  You can download Mandrake 8.1 now, but the mirrors
are very clogged at the moment.  I'll try to make a mirror tonight.

I personally would never buy Mandrake boxed sets... waste of packaging.
Download your Mandrake, and if you really appreciate their work donate on
this page.  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/donations/  You can even choose
the project within Mandrake that you want the money to go toward.

If you donate to Mandrake rather than buying boxed sets, all of your money
goes to Mandrake rather than retailer middle-men, packaging costs or
shipping.  On the down side, you don't get the tech support that comes with
the boxed set.  But that's fine, post your questions here and we'll help you
out.  Many of us are Mandrake users, or Mandrake aware (very similar to Red
Hat).
