Mandrake == old name of Mandriva.
I was also rather surprised to not find glibc 2.4... will try again
later. I guess it's in the cooker then.

My box at 10.1 works, got trouble with my printer trying out 10.2, and
for the rest it's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!
I'll wait for the 2.0 release of GnuCash then.
