Mandriva 2009 RC1 Has KDE 4.1.1
,----[ Quote ]
| A few minutes ago, Mandriva has announced the first release candidate version
| of Mandriva 2009, which brings a greatly improved package management tool,
| with automatic mirror selection and repository configuration. Dubbed
| camelopard, this first RC replaces the old madwifi wireless driver with the
| brand new ath5k, for all Atheros cards, and brings further improvements to
| the Ora theme. The development cycle of Mandriva 2009 will continue with the
| second release candidate in late September, and will conclude with the final
| release in early October. With the 2009 edition, Mandriva Linux will try to
| compete with the current release of openSUSE 11.0 and the upcoming Ubuntu
| 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), and even to "steal" some of their devoted users.

Living with Mandriva 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| This is currently my favorite popular distro. From a practical standpoint, I
| feel it is better than Windows Vista. I don’t say that as a Linux slappy.
| Looking at it from an angle of which OS enables me to do the things I need to
| do day in and day out, Mandriva shines. My next article will compare Vista
| and Mandriva 2008 in depth, and I will convince you why 2008 wins.

Mandriva Plunge: following the 2009 release
,----[ Quote ]
| On the plus side, this Alpha 2 release is far more stable on this laptop than
| the previous stable release. It’s fast, snappy and the screen doesn’t freeze
| or lock on me. If this is the starting point I am more than curious to see
| how it pans out in the coming months.

Mandriva Linux 2009.0 First Impressions

Notes from the Field: Mandriva 2009 KDE Alpha 2
,----[ Quote ]
| I choose to test the alpha 2 release with the KDE desktop because Mandriva
| 2009 will eventually ship using KDE 4.1, everone's favorite desktop. Alpha 2
| is also supposed to ship with the latest video drivers for both ATI and
| nVidia, which means that it should also support Compiz. Unfortunately alpha 2
| did not, even though the current version of Mandriva does, and quite well.
