“Probably the most important question that needs to be answered
is ‘Why should I upgrade?’ Whenever I read a review of some piece
of software that’s always the first question I have. The version
I’m using now works fine, why should I upgrade? The reasons I
upgraded to Mandrake 10 are simple, and they are these:
- “Linux 2.6. I was already running a custom built 2.6 series
kernel, but I wanted one built by Mandrake. I’m not very good with
kernel building. I wanted the 2.6 kernel because it uses ALSA
natively, and for the new O(N) scheduler, and of course the
lower-latency rewrites. What I really needed a Mandrake built
kernel for was so I could have an alsa sequencer device that didn’t
require rebooting to a 2.4 series kernel to play the DVD
player…”
