MandrakeSoft has announced the release of Mandrakelinux 10.0 for the x86_64 architecture. "Mandrakelinux 10.0 for AMD64 delivers all the features and robustness of Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official to the 64-bit platform from AMD, with an average performance gain of 20% compared to the IA32 version."

Mandrakelinux 10.0 update advisories:

rpmdrake: When MandrakeUpdate was unable to retrieve the hdlist or the synthesis file from an update medium, it used to continue without alerting the user. Now MandrakeUpdate will alert the user and indicate to them to retry the operation later or to delete and re-add the medium in case the directory layout has changed.
shorewall: This new version of shorewall provides updated RFC1918 and bogons files that are needed for proper operation of the firewall.

Perhaps someone might want to give it a spin to confirm it works, but I read that Mandrakes installer can resize NTFS.

This to me seems big.

Resize NTFS.

Well it worked for me on two different computers using Mandrake 9.2.

The NTFS resize feature has been advertised as being in the distribution since at least Mandrake 9.1 - I can't seem to find details of earlier versions on their website.

The bugzilla system also only lists six bugs when you search for NTFS - none of which seem to eat data - so perhaps it works o.k!
