for Mandrake users and I'm quite sure your busy) Often the Cooker

I don't understand your question. 10 is the latest stable release.
Cooker is the development version (to be 10.1). Contrib is a separate
repository of good rpms but that are unsupported by MandrakeSoft.
Don't mix cooker RPMs with stable releases. Run one or the other. > Is the stuff on Mandrake Club current

There's not much on Mandrake Club that you can't get elsewhere. The
club is mainly intended to be a way for people who can't buy the CDs to
contribute to the company. You can volunteer to help and get a free
membership, or you can buy a membership.
