Mandrake 9.0 Final really out this time


Recommended Posts

This is different than what neowin posted yesterday, these are not relabeled images!

Press Release: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/9.0PR.php3

Mirrored PR: http://www.lwn.net/Articles/10907/

Presentation: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/9.0/presentation/

Some of the cool new features that they claim... USB 2.0, Dynamic Desktop, NTFS (possibly writing support?)

Mandrake Linux 9.0 features the following software:

Kernel 2.4.19

XFree 4.2.1 & XFree 3.3.6

Glibc 2.2.5

GCC 3.2

KDE 3.0.3, GNOME 2.0.1, IceWM 1.2, WindowMaker 0.8, Enlightenment 0.16.5, BlackBox 0.62

OpenOffice.org 1.0.1, KOffice 1.2

Mozilla 1.1, The GIMP 1.2.3, XMMS 1.2.7

Check out the download page. There is a non-working link to the 9.0 rc3, and the 9.0 isos are now at the top of the page.

Also, the md5 checksum for the 3 cds, i am checking if it is the same as the "relabeled" one that neowin reported before:

f7a093af34b8cbe1abc165213fea9deb Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso

05a3ccafaacc37d6d1e2f260fc274549 Mandrake90-cd2-ext.i586.iso

1a2fd731fb6e30d39b0b99f504b231b3 Mandrake90-cd3-i18n.i586.iso

The relabeled isos from yesterday (i think) are indeed the real Mandrake 9.0 final

here is the md5sum that matches the sum listed above

D:Download>md5sum MandrakeLinux-9.0rc3-inst-1.i586.iso

f7a093af34b8cbe1abc165213fea9deb *MandrakeLinux-9.0rc3-inst-1.i586.iso

let me see if i can root it up: http://neowin.net/comments.php?id=6443

Did you even read my post? That one you posted had this

"MandrakeSoft S.A. has released the final version of Mandrake Linux 9.0. However, the new CD images are mislabelled as RC3."

It wasnt ever on the mandrake site until today. I hate people that reply without reading the post and assuming they know everything from the title. Those relabeled images do indeed match the final checksums that they posted TODAY (note the September 25th date above)

Please read before acting stupid. This was the first post about it actually being on mandrake's site, as far as i know.

lol, sorry for acting stupid then. don't hate. :)

as far as i knew, neowin posted yesterday that mandrake 9 had come out, regardless of the fact that the images were mislabeled. they seemed to think it was accurate enough to post...
