Yay..when i saw this on the mandrake site, i was ecstatic. Is it just me, or did beta testing go by really quick? Well, I'm looking forward to it..especially the upgrade for KDE. I've had diffulty trying to upgrade it..and finally decided to just stick it out until the next Mandrake release. Besides, it's awesome the way it is now!
As the webmaster for this site and a mandrake user myself, I'd like to declare an official day of rejoicing and dancing in the street on the day of release.
Of course, this dancing shall be limited only to the time that the iso files are downloading, for once this is completed, we shall rush inside to upgrade our systems and bask in the glory that is Mandrake.
Amen.
