Should I get "mandrake linux 9.1". I already have 9.0 and I am wondering what are the new things I get?

emh:
I just got my 9.1 powerpack in the mail today.  I'll install it and let you know.  

TheKnifeThrower:
Thanks.

Well Mandrake 9.1 has non-destructive ntfs partition resizing. That meant that I could finally use Mandrake in a dual boot setup on my XP box without third party software. It works great too. The installer is totally revamped. This is the first major change in the installer since I started using mandrake at 7.2. If you run a webserver, Mandrake comes default with Apache 2.0.44, however if you still use the 1.3 series, 1.3.27 is included as well. Mozilla 1.3 is included, which is a huge improvement over 1.0 because of antialiased fonts. The new Mandrake galaxy theme is pretty good, I especially like the icons. Kde 3.1 I think fixes a lot of the bugs in kde 3.0. Its not too huge a change from 9.0, however keep in mind that Mandrake, like Redhat, only will keep providing updates for one year. You  might be cool until Mandrake 9.2 hits the shelves.

I'm getting Mandrake 9.1 in a while. I got it off of ebay for $0.01 (Yes, just ONE cent), plus $3.99 shipping!  Can't wait to put it on the rig I'm building!
