I think it important to note that anytime you test a Mandrake beta you are in actuality testing 2 different works in progress. The first is DrakX which is the installation program itself and is responsible for everything up until your system reboots you to your newly installed toy. This includes hardware detection, partitioning, pkg selection, buttons, navigation, etc. etc, etc. The second process is, of course, the OS itself. This early in the beta devel stage varying hardware and varying configs are going to produce an infestation of bugs. This is by desire so that by the time the RCs arrive all that will remain to be corrected are minor irritations. The more people and varied systems that can run and provide feedback, be it through the lists or bugzilla, for the betas the more polished and troublefree the next final will be. BTW if it holds to the 6 mom timeline this will not be until April. That being said I also think that it is very important to note that a beta OS release is not meant to be used as an upgrade for a currently running stable OS. If you have an extra system, a spare hd, or even a gig or 2 of unused space on your current drive then use it for a clean install of the beta. If this does not apply to you and you are determined to use the Beta as an upgrade install. Install it and then use rpmdrake or urpmi to go full cooker and at the very least lurk on the cooker mailing list. Do not try to run a miss-matched mix of pkgs, this invalidates any and all bugs/problems you may/will encounter.

They, in Sept. admitted that at least 3% of their drives sold in Japan will have to be replaced but they made no admission in regards to drives sold elsewhere. In the US a class action law suit has been filed against Fujitsu of America and HP for sale of system with said drives. Now not being produced for the desktop market many pre-built systems were/are sold with these drives. If you have 1 of these systems my suggestion would be to replace it or at the very least make very frequent back-ups. The drives most prone to failure are the MPG3xx, MPG3204AT, MPG3307AH and the MPG3409AH.

None are fully supported unless you use the closed-source nvidia drivers but any should give good 2d performance using the nv driver ATI / Powercolor Radeon 9000 64MB DDR 250MHz TV/DVI Not supported so you would only be able to use the vega driver so it is at this time not worth any extra cost. ATI Radeon 7500 Dual Head 64MB AGP Pass, flaky behavior can vary between systems. Some have no problem others nothing but. Would like to add another suggestion that would be in the lower price range of the cards you listed. ATI Xpert 2000 32mb using Rage 128 chipset. Running it on 2 system with full 3d accel and no problems. There is a problem (freezing when switching back and forth between X and the virtual consoles) with the Rage 128 Mobility cards but not with those used in standard desktops.

But what I was really looking for was something already made which would work out of the box with a nice GUI. All I need is to keep data on artists and tracks for each cd I own. I built kmusicdb for Cooker/Contrib. Don't think those rpms will work on 9.0 though. If you can wait till tomorrow or Sun I will see if the necessary rpms will build on 9.0, if so I can email them to you, sorry I'm not set up for FTP. It would be approx 600Kb for the 3 necessary rpms.
