[Warren Togami]

Mandrake for x86 is currently in beta too. Check this same site for 
reviews of the x86 beta.

Pros

     * Identical to Mandrake Linux x86 9.1 Beta 2 in terms of looks.
     * Surprisingly good performance.
     * Combines good-looking, quality hardware with free, good-looking, 
quality software.
     * Tracks the development cycle of x86 9.1 quite closely, so I 
expect a more complete selection of packages for Beta 3 and later.
     * Really cool Mac-On-Linux virtual machine.

Cons

     * Graphical installation did not work on my iMac.
     * OpenOffice 1.0.1 unusable.
     * Small bugs detract from general impression of stability and 
usability (note however this is an early Beta, where such bugs can be 
expected).
     * Kernel source not included (MandrakeSoft developers, are you 
listening?).
