[Editor’s Note: Earlier this morning, Linux Today reported
the apprarent existence of Mandrake Linux 9.1 RC3 on the Mandrake
FTP mirrors. It is clear now that what was RC3 was in fact the
final version of Mandrake Linux 9.1 that was being synchronized
surreptitiously. Linux Today regrets the error and now links to the
official final release announcement of Mandrake Linux 9.1.
