In some ways I would agree, but 10.0 has many improvements over the old  
version of Mandrake
I must say I did like version 9, though it is still old now.

Again, having already gone through a compete install of 10.1 and using  
it for a week only to find
that it couldn't do the job, and doing a complete rehaul of my server  
back to 10.0 I could not reccomend
highly enough that you do not use 10.1. It is an unstable release. Even  
though according to Mandrake's release
format it is supposed to be stable.

If you have the bandwidth and time, here are the WAIX mirrors to  
download the Mandrake 10.0 Official ISO's
Any cd burning program can easily burn the CD images to CDs just incase  
you don't know what an ISO is =)
