Linux Mandrake is proud to announce the availability of it’s new
development version code-named “Cooker”. What sets the distribution
apart from previous versions is that Linux Mandrake has now adopted
a new open style of development that allows real-time updating of
the distribution based on the contribution of both it’s dedicated
staff and the user base. This is in accordance to the “bazaar”
style of development popularized by ESR in his landmark essay “The
Cathedral and the Bazaar”, and will help Linux Mandrake better
serve the Open Source community.

Linux Mandrake Cooker is aimed at the following audiences:

  • Users who want to stay on the cutting edge with a distribution
    that is updated daily.
  • Users who want an easier way to upgrade their existing
    software.
  • Developers who want to contribute to the development and
    direction of Linux Mandrake.

Cooker is now available online at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cooker.

For those without high-speed internet access we also have
several on-line resellers who can create Cooker CD’s on demand with
the latest package upgrades.
