  1. Review - Mandriva Linux

    9.0 Beta 4 (Aug 31, 2002)

    Mandrake Linux looks like a good distribution. But the last time I installed this distro it messed up my other partitions. Look a while to get everything back. I am a Linux newbie (I am a windows only developer) so your experience might be better than mine.

  2. Comment - Mira 'Smart Displays' Pushed to 2003

    9.0 Beta 4 (Oct 27, 2002 - 6:32 PM)

    may not be because of any technical issues with Mira displays.

    It might be the fact that Tablet PC is about to launched in mid November. MS marketting might be afraid that people will be confused and will not be able to diffrentiate between Tablet PC and Mira Smart Displays.
    Not releasing both products at the same time will avoid this confusion.
