i think they should take longer before releasing new versions, because they're always filled with bugs and a new one comes out 1 month later making the other obsolete. So people who are on dialup like me and don't have the ability to download .iso images have to spend money somewhere cheapbytes, mandrake themselves, or wal mart or somewhere else and buy the software when its all buggedup then to have another one come out like i said one month later it just sucks and wastes our money. Thats why I currently have red hat 7.3 because i didn't want to spend any on 8.2 after i had just bought 8.1 and stuff like that even though Mandrake is still my fav distro.

It comes out every 6 months, not every month, as was mentioned thats how it goes for a bleeding edge distro.
I have been hanging out for 9 for about 3 months now
really want that open office 1.0.1 integrated with kde3 and gnome 2.
without having to go to the trouble of installing it all, as i want to install 9 on about 12 boxes.
Mozilla 1.1 is good but i always use the newest semi stable moz which is currently 1.2a(very stable - very good btw for me anyway). but i just need to change that on the boxes that i use not the rest.
I think all this betatesting is producing better mandrakes which is acceptable to me :)
