ox·y·mo·ron (ks-môrn, -mr-)
n., pl. ox·y·mo·ra (-môr, -mr) or ox·y·mo·rons.

A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence
and a mournful optimist.

beta != stable

This is particularily true with Mandrake betas. Be patient and wait until the final like I am.

oxymoron - contradicting terms as in beta and stable.

I would imagine their beta release would be stable enough for you to run as a test system and to get a taste of what's to come. Not advisable to use as a Production System.

Of course goes without saying.

its good for testing porposes only. cause im itching to see what they come up with next.

but nothing beats -Storm Linux- for first time newbies. its easy, simple & GET GO

:cool:just wait till things settle down & do a complete install

I'm back to using beta 1. .I found beta 2 worse. ..???? :confused: Anyway, I've been using this version since a couple of weeks now; I like it just fine thus far.
