FYI,
I've been using the 8.0beta2 for a few days now. I had to go to 8.0 because
the 7.2 installer freezes on my machine (no idea why). 8.0 is great!
Anti-aliased fonts, latest kde and gnome, built in support for my ATA100 bus.
I did notice that the reported compiler version is 2.96 though. It looks
like mandrake is doing the same thing redhat did w/ 7.0 and using a
development version of the gcc compiler. I didn't check to see if
mandrakes 2.96 could build the kernel (since redhat's 2.96 cannot). Oh
well, I installed 2.95.3 for my own development needs.
