Mandriva Linux 2010 Alpha 2 is now available
Mandriva Linux 2010 Alpha 2 is now available on public mirrors. This Alpha is available only through Free version, 32 and 64 bit DVDs.
Despite our planning modification (if you didn’t heard it already, Mandriva Linux 2010 will be released on November 3rd, 2009), we were able to provide this alpha 2 release sooner than expected.
Among many things, the following components are been updated in Alpha 2:You will find detailed informations about Alpha 2 on Mandriva wiki.
- KDE 4.3 RC 3
- GNOME 2.27.5, including new client-side window GTK+ feature (help to prevent flickering)
- Kernel 2.6.31 rc4
- Xorg 1.6.3 with latest driver for Intel graphic chipset (should improve performance and stability)
Please help us by testing this second alpha release and report bugs to Mandriva.
Enjoy!
