| | LWN: Mandrakelinux 10.1 on AMD64 |
 | | Gentoo Linux on AMD64), Mandrakelinux 10.1 for X86-64 is not readily available for download, and even the Silver-level members of Mandrakeclub were only given access to the ISO images some 6 weeks after the official release on November 10th, 2004. |
 | | Frankly, it is hard to see how Mandrakelinux will compete with other 64-bit distributions on the market, especially with the likes of Fedora, but also Debian or Gentoo, which are free of cost and available for download immediately after release (or continuously updated). |
 | | Mandrakelinux 10.1 X86-64 is not a bad product, but it is marred by lack of polish and some unnecessary commercial tricks. |
