Top Story

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.
