what would Mandrake do with the clients. forget to post that
they have released a new version. whats next. they release
10.2 final and forget to put it out for the people. sometimes
it seems Mandrake wouldnt know what to do with clients.

i remember a while back it being mentioned that the dvd version
was being ready for the next day to be released and then
i saw no dvd release, i thought they just changed their minds.

i was glad to get the rc in any version.
