Mandrakelinux 10.1 Beta1 is available!
At last something to make your summer hotter, far better than all
these linux unaware suntanned chicks and chaps you would like to get
along with on the beach. Forget them and go back home, fill up your
fridge with soya drinks (or your favorite one, but remember that fast
assimilated sugar shortens your life expectancy). It is time to test
your new air conditioner limits, switching on all the computers
sitting around to test this new Mandrakelinux 10.1 beta! More details
and links are available here.
