Re: [MandrakeMove] Questions for MandrakeMove review

You should test the retail version. How could you seriously test the use
of the USB key with the download edition ?

The retail version also include drivers that can't be distributed in the
download edition. It's easier to play with tuxracer with a hardware
accelerated version :)
