The download edition always seem to have something wrong with them and its 
always something so obvious that it couldn't have been missed while in 
cooker. For example the problem with the mount system in Mandrake 9.2, in 9.1 
among other things there was the problem with the gimp in which the canvas 
wouldn't display properly or would distort and in earlier versions the 
problems were worse.

Currently in 10.0 I've found the file associations to be messed up, anything 
that could be a text file gets opened with Qt-Designer (anyone else have this 
problem?) even file associations that haven't been set up but have non-binary 
data (.cfg for example) get opened with Qt-Designer.

I think Mandrake may be leaving or even introducing bugs in the download 
editions in order to entice people to buy a boxed set whether they are part 
of the Mandrake club or not, I'd personally rather just pay for a club 
membership because its cheaper but if their download edition is bugged up as 
well I will gladly go back to SUSE Linux which is my other favourite 
distribution.

BTW. Does the Mandrake club download edition have advertisements in it during 
the installation process? What about payed links in the system after its been 
installed?
