OK Mandrake "Community" and Mandrake "Official" are different.
The old release cycle was cooker -> beta releases -> GPL mandrake release -> 2-4 weeks later Official. now we have after allot of prodding by people who want to get a version that been broken in, and debugged, before they install it on the company desktop, a new release cycle cooker -> beta releases -> community -> Official (2/3 months later). Also note GPL Free "Official" will be also be released to the public but only after Official has been released to paying Mandrake Club members. Mandrake Power Pack etc boxed versions will be based on Mandrake "Official" not "community" And yes from what I can glean from the info $$$ version won't be the same as the FREE GPL version on the FTP server but as anyone knows you can hunt these packages down anyway. Personally I just go buy a boxed version saves me having to look all over the place for the missing commercial packages ie Nvidia ATi Java etc etc. Disclaimer: I don't work for Mandrake-soft, nor do I gain in any way by the above information from Mandrake-Soft other than the warm fuzzy feeling. All the above information is a personal view and has in no way any association to Mandrake-Soft's company policies. So Mandrake Official wont be released till April/May.
