[Cooker] when will it be officially released?

[Lin]

hi, I probably didn't keep up very well, but when will Mandrake 8.0 be
officially released?  

In 7.2, my computer sometimes takes a few minutes to put all my memory to
buffer, is this one of the features?  when I was running on windows Me it
does the same thing, but doesn't that reduces the amount of memory I could
use?  Is this going to be the same in 8.0?

Thanks
