Is Linux-Mandrake 7.2 officially released or not? If you look
here,
you’ll find Linux-Mandrake 7.2 available for download (as first
reported on Linuxnewbie).
However, the main
Linux-Mandrake Web site still reports that version 7.1 is still
the most current. So what gives?
Here’s the situation: we’ve been told that the “official”
release has been delayed by a week, but that 7.2 was quietly being
uploaded to all the mirror download sites (like this one). And
indeed, if you check out the download sites, you’ll find that
Linux-Mandrake 7.2 is available for download. So rip away!
Here’s some more information about the goodies you’ll find in
Linux-Mandrake 7.2 (as excerpted from the Linux-Mandrake Web
site):
- KDE 2.0 is included
- XFree86 4.01 is now installed by default (unless not supported
by your video card) - Installation: new options have been added such
as installation sizes - Internet Access Configuration Draknet
assistant allows you to easily configure your modem, ISDN, DSL or
Cable connection - Internet Access Sharing: DrakeGateway is a new
wizard that easily configures a Linux box to server as a personal
router and firewall for sharing Internet access with other

supports a larger hardware base - RPMDrake has been enhanced to be easier and more powerful to
