Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (Cooker) for i586 got goin yesterday. Install an test it, specially those with ready made marginal hardware (Dell, Gateway, Compaq, any laptop, etc). Subscribe (lurk) on the cooker and change log lists, contribute when you can. When it's done in a few months, you can feel proud that you helped ... or you can resort to being one of those that sings the same old song 'Mandrake hasn't been a good release <insert prior release>, this one should'a had more work an testing' ....
It's up to y'all.
I'd soooooo love to run cooker on my laptop... (i5150) but I have to settle for 9.2.
Reason is that ADSL in Australia really sucks and if I was to sync cooker from 9.2 right now, chances are that by tomorrow I'd have done my months bandwidth allocation...
However, I am working on it.. we have a server network over here, WAIX that all the ISP's in the area use and don't change if you download from. (I just got the 9.2 CD's from them.)
I am going to see if I can get them to mirror cooker so I and anyone else interested can get our updates for free (bandwidth wise).
