Its apparently an unannounced release. It is available now at all the
sites that carry the Mandrake releases. A list of the mirror sites is
available at www.linux-mandrake.com. Most of them, from what I have
seen are carrying the 5.3 ISO image. I got it and burned one and
upgraded my system. However, there did seem to be a problem with this
in that in KDE desktop, it duplicated all of my icons and menu items.
So I basically had two of everything in the menus in KDE. I rebooted
several times hopeing that the duplicates would go away, but they
didnt. When I deleted some of the duplicates, I discovered I could no
longer use the menu icons that were left. Not sure exactly what
happened. AnywayI just started over and re-installed the works.
The new install went fine, no problems there, and I am back up and
running. If the installation was hard, as in some releases, It would
not be something that I would attempt lightly. But since it is one of
the easist installed releases of linux around, I dont hesitate...and
didnt Plus...the more I install and tweek...the more I learn and the
better I become with linux. I have tried every release out there
almost. Some only once, some moreMandrake and RedHat are the
best.
