Wahoo!!! Mandrake 10 Community Lives!
I finally got upgraded STIMPY to the 2.6 kernel via Mandrake 10 and I must say it's awesome!
SuSE just couldn't compare in lots of areas, but most critically the multimedia zones. I need mplayer, mythtv, tvtime, xine. Yeah! Encrypted DVD Movies too (after downloading the dvdnav and css rpms). Hey, you gotta be able to go to Apple's movie trailer site and preview the latest Shrek 2. You just can't enjoy life without these little jewels..... if you have the processing power.
Of course, with power comes heat, which I monitor using lm_sensors. Lm_sensors was on the CD and installed perfectly on MDK10; it automatically configured itself after a few simple questions - most answers were yes. The one exception was the BT868 Tuner card, which sensors decided it wanted to probe for a sensor. Well, anyway I have my sensor data showing in gkrellm on the desktop - fans, CPU and case. Sweet.
