Hi,
this is too early for 10.1, but is it possible or is it
worst to migrate from the Community Edition to the Official
of the same versions? What is the experoence with 10.0?

I can't tell you definitively, as I haven't personally done
it, but I'd think Community Edition would be very close to
the official release save any last minute bugs they work out
before the official release.  I would think you'd just need
to target your urpmi sources at Official then urpmi.update -a
and urpmi --autoselect ( although I'd highly consider tossing
in a --test first, just to be sure).  That'd grab anything
but a new kernel.
      
A word of advice :  prior to urpmi'ing all the stuff edit your
"/etc/mandrake-release" file as follows :
Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (Official) for i586
Otherwise some packages might get confused.

I have done the change and ended up doing a fresh install. It is worth 
it as things are more 'tied down' in the Official version. Especially 
USB which is why I updated in the first place.
