Well Mandrake 10.1 missed KDE 3.3 and X.org R6.8...
Mandrake used to be latest and greatest but it seems Fedora is more entitled to that term now.
However, I know for a fact that the CJK input is vastly improved with m17n and a new XIM server SCIM, you can change the input language (eg. from Japanese to Chinese) on the fly with this new release!

The first preview release of Firefox 1.0 is finally available:
Three large new features — Live Bookmarks, the Find bar and a new plugin installer — have landed since 0.9, along with a host of critical bugfixes.

As always you can grab it at the official page.
Along with this first preview release is the launch of a series of marketing plan to promote Firefox to end users, start with the marketing website Spread Firefox. Spread Firefox to people you know! :D
In addition, Thunderbird 0.8 and Mozilla 1.7.3 released with update and fixes:

Nevermind, I think I needed to type in
"echo "(define devices '(sdl))" > ~/.openalrc"
Wow. Anyway, hopefully this info will help someone in the future.
Thanks a lot.
This command also helps when you happen to have jerky sound for some reason.
This fixes it.

You would have to notice, the license for the free DVD toolkit in not transferrable.

GeForce 6600 GT really kicks ass:

With excellent Linux driver, I doubt I'll look elsewhere.
Note: 6600 GT AGP version will be coming in Novemeber.

72MB Ram, is it a memory combination of 32MBx2 + 4MBx2 ?
Anyway, XFCE is more fitting with such limited memory resource.

The 2D Radeon drivers (for R300-420) are merged into X.org latest release quickly, while it almost took 1-2 years later to have something like this happen in the XFree86.org era.

To adjust font size for GTK-apps outside GNOME, you need to modify the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0
Add the following line:
gtk-font-name="Sans 12"
where Sans is the font name
12 is the font size
For more detail, you can check out the last post in this discussion in Tips and Tricks:

See if you can download it from the project page:
(Look for the item 'RealPlayer 10 Final Release')

It is never faster to ask on a forum and wait for an answer than to google or search the forum. A n00b is diff. They don't even know what to search for, they just need help.
I contested whether it's really faster to search, but since you know the topic well it must be faster for you then.
As for your point on 3000 hours online, I think it is just an individual case.
The internet is full of repeating questions and answers on similar topic, like Gowator said it is sometimes better to help out each other. I probably won't mind answering repetitive questions if I know that topic well. Btw, I did search a bit but I thought I will get more straightforward answer with a post.
Again thanks for the help from idud and Gowator.

Thanks to idud and Gowator again.
You saved me from a lot of trouble than going thru search results.

It could be a driver issue, check out the ALSA snd-emu10k1 wiki for more info:

Scribus 1.2 released, with much improved feature and font support.

Install alsamixergui and see if it works:
# urpmi alsermixergui

Thanks Gowator for the easy answer. :)

Yes, use Mdk boot CD (Installation CD1) and then press F1 (maybe other, I forgot :P) to enter some option and type rescue.
There will be a simple user interface that can be use to restore bootloader. You can even mount your Mdk root partition (/) to add some boot option to lilo.conf, and restore the bootloader after that.
Hope this help.
Thanks. :D
I'll try it.

I have a question, how can I restore LILO (at the boot sector I suppose), after re-installing Windows XP (I know... :P it's only for my sister's computer)?
Do I need to backup it on a floppy disk or something?
Can it be done just by booting a Mandrake bootCD and enter some commands?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

SuSE 9.1 Personal ISO is free, while SuSE 9.1 Professional ISOs are not necessarily free; although I may see Novell has more intention to free those ISOs later.
-
I guesss this is just circumstantial expression of a driver configuration issue, not enough to conclude the 3D driver quality or demand, if the ATi petition is any indication.
-
Novell is giving away 10 GB of DVDs and CDs. Some of the included software are SuSE 9.1 Pro, SuSE Standard Server 9.0 and Novell GroupWise.
Update on Aug 20, 2004:
The offer was out of stock since early July, apparently Novell is offering it again, so get it while supplies last :
-
I also heard there are report of random lockups with certain chipset.
In any case my experience with nVidia driver is stable 95% of the time.
Although there were occassional glitches that required re-installation of the driver sometimes.
-
We are getting close to 10,000 signatures!
Now that means two things:
1) There are indeed many dual boot + migrated Linux desktop users.
2) Many ATi card owners would like to run Linux with better drivers.

LinuxWorld: Taking on added dimensions
Linus Torvalds launched Linux as a student project nearly 13 years ago, but now it's a staple of the information technology diet and a component of computing company strategies to get an edge over their competitors. These high-stakes plans were on display at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco:
Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Community)
in Everything Linux

Ah well, that does change the fact that Mdk is not supporting the latest as it used to be.
Its release schedule in March and September is what makes it will miss X.org latest release (around the same time or a little earlier), as well as the latest GNOME release.
Perhaps it is more stable than Fedora (that I'll need to verify it sometime), but Mandrake used to be the latest and greatest. Now it's not. The translation issue is understandable, but Mdk's release schedule makes it always later than Fedora (and even SuSE) to adopt the latest release of various packages (X.org, GNOME).
