Mandrake Linux [LWN.net]

MandrakeSoft has announced the release of Mandrake Linux 9.1. There's lots of new stuff, of course, including yet another simplified graphical installer, the "MandrakeGalaxy" theme, Apache 2, and more.

The ext2/ext3 partition format in Mandrake Linux 9.1 is not compatible with older Mandrake Linux releases, so new packages are available for some older distributions so that, for example, a 9.0 system can mount a 9.1-formatted ext2 or ext3 partition.
