I've upgraded my laptop and my parent's computer to it. I was running cooker on my laptop and my parent's machine was a straight 9.2 box. In both cases I did the upgrade with urpmi. My laptop (the cooker machine) had an "issue" where one of my pam files was clobbered. My parent's box seemed to upgrade without any issues. It's not much different from 9.2. It's got a 2.6 kernel, which is a bit zippier on multi-threaded stuff. It's probably got newer KDE but I don't use that so I don't know. GNOME is still 2.4. The menus are a lot tidier. Mandrake control center is... more different. If it weren't for the new kernel it would almost certainly have been 9.3.
