It seems like they will be getting back on track. Ubuntu in particular gives
them a run for the money because their focus is the desktop of relatively
new users.

Mandriva Beijing: La Révolution Culturelle? (RC3) mandriva
,----[ Quote ]
| It's a good "final RC", with enough things to ponder over them. And some
| deep thinking will be needed indeed when choosing a distro (I need to
| choose at least one distro for the laptop and one main distro for the
| desktop, both with good Qt3/Qt4/Python development tools), knowing that
| this month is also supposed to bring us:
|
| * openSUSE 10.3 (from the Microsoft alliance)
| * Ubuntu/Kubuntu 7.04
| * Debian Etch (or maybe not)
| * Fedora 7
| * possibly CentOS 5 and Scientific Linux 5.

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring Released
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring also provides the newest versions of the
| Compiz and Beryl 3D-accelerated desktops.
|
| Together, Metisse, Compiz and Beryl - with the convenient
| Mandriva configuration tool - make Mandriva Linux the most
| up-to-date distribution as far as the graphical environment is
| concerned. Mandriva's integration work renders Metisse available
| for all, for an enhanced user experience. Metisse is not a
| 3D-accelerated desktop but a Human-Computer Interface (HCI)
| technology that revolutionizes the user experience.

,----[ Quote ]
| With the release of Microsoft's new Windows operating system (Vista),
| more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for
| various reasons. This tutorial is the second in a series of
| articles where I will show people who are willing to switch to
| Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Mandriva Free 2007
| in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop,
| i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things
| they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear:
| you get a secure system without DRM restrictions, and the
| best thing is: all software comes free of charge.
