Thanks rpgman for this post in our forums that 8.2 of Mandrake has made final code. Have fun finding a decent server tho as everything appears to be maxed out!
Mandrake Linux is a powerful operating system that is available for many platforms: 32 bit processors such as Intel Pentium®, AMD Athlon®, PowerPC®; and 64 bit processors such as Intel Itanium®, SPARC®, AXP®. Mandrake Linux includes many graphical administration assistants & wizards that make it intuitive and fun to use while providing all the power and robustness of other Linux systems. Hundreds of included applications make it an ideal solution for both enterprises and individual users.
Mandrake 8.2 includes KDE 3.0 beta which has transparency for the desktop..now all we need is simplicity and cleartype.
