users opinions on mandrake 10 ce

Recommended Posts

i was just curious to other users response to mandrake 10 ce

 

i really enjoy it but there are some odd things

 

-low stability constantly freezes on me

-can only get sound in gnome

-slow internet in gnome

-can only get updates in kde

-openoffice freezes in gnome

-icewm windowmaker and the other desktops are more instable than windows (yes one time it just quit on me and the pc locked and was inable to shut down)

-cd player wont read sound at all

these are the negatives now for positives

 

-fast boot time

-vast range of apllications

-good help

-easy to use

-ease of learning

-clean neat desktop

-low background apps

-great security

 

?how many of you have had trouble installing?

 

this is more to get others opinion on mandrake 10 ce like a list that i gave not a full fledged review

thanks for the responses

I have had no problems at all with Mandrake 10 CE. Everything works and works very well. I have no complaints at all.

interestingly enough i also went for updates under my root account 677 mb of updates and it was done in 30 seconds and then the same list came back up i think im doing something wrong

 

shadowmatrix good to here your system is problem freei think that the way mandrake acts depends on the user and the hardware

 

something else im playing a nin music video a certain one and every single time i play it theres this blaring series of beeps then the system crashes i find it interesting to see the varied results maybe this is why i didnt like xp

Recently upgrade from 9.1 to 10.0 CE because I want support for

a TV Card ...

 

I'm very unhappy with the upgrade, I pass from a stable working

system to a "buggy" one, here first approach problems:

 

- X crash using the XF86Config-4 generated by XFDrake. Solved

using old XF86Config file ... but still having problems with

ATI 9200 Radeon (fglrx) driver ...

 

- During boot system always ask to boot in graphical, text, or debbuging mode. Don't understand why ...choosing graphical will

now boot correctly in X ...

 

- HSF Modem driver stop working. Must pay for a new driver with

no speed restrictions (Linuxant). So system is Internet blinded (terrific ...).

 

- Sound driver (nvaudio) stop working (OSS). No sound at all

I will try ALSA service ...

 

- Finding Files in KDE doesn't work. Application stop responding

anytime you want search ...

 

- Fonts in KDE are blurred... try to solve in KDE Control Center ...

 

That's all for now!!!

 

In the meanwhile to post this message and to working I use other OS ...
