Certainly very well behaved if you stick to the Mandrake repositories (Main, Contrib and PLF).I am still using 9.1 which is rock solid and, although, I'm not keen to upgrade yet, I may be tempted by 10.1. Could someone report back? All the best, Peter.
Hehe! Join the club! I'm still running Mdk9.1 as my main system. I keep a spare 40Gb harddrive around for testing multiple OSs concurrently. I have found that it'd be quite hard for me to 'upgrade' to any new Mandrake system simply because _my_ Mandrake system is no-longer very Mandrakian. The longer you have a particular setup, the more things you add here and there, and then promptly forget for months-on-end. *I* would not upgrade to 10.1 because of this, however if your system is still pretty much vanilla Mdk9.1, then I can't see that there'd be any problems. Certainly if you actually install 10.1 over-the-top of 9.1 rather than "upgrade" - I have not used a Mandrake 'upgrade' tool since 7.1 went to 7.2, and that was a bit troublesome. I'm guessing that Mandrake have probably got things a little better since then, though.
