Re: [newbie] Beta 9.0 2
Your right but 90% were excited about how sweet the install went.Three Win users that had never seen linux were there were excite they were told to check they,re hardware and we offered a free help install if they would bring they,re system to a meeting and I,d bet we well get some takers.

[newbie] beta 9.0
Hi, I don't know if any of you out there have installed the 9.0 Beta, but I have, because I love to tinker with new things. I thought I might be a beta tester. Anyway, does anyone know why tuxracer did not come with the beta? That is one of my fav games. Thanks, John Drouhard P.S. from what I have done so far, Mandrake 9 is not very buggy. Only a couple bugs, maybe. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
