Mandriva, ontstaan nadat Mandrakesoft het Braziliaanse Connectiva had overgenomen, heeft de eerste release candidate vrijgegeven. Deze distributie is zeer geschikt voor de beginnende Linux-gebruiker door het gebruik van een grafische interface tijdens de installatie en de wizards om het besturingssysteem te configureren.
In adamw's blog valt te lezen welke veranderingen te vinden zijn in deze versie ten opzichte van de laatste bèta:
Cooker has been very busy lately: a couple of major changes have happened - a new menu structure, based on Frederik Himpe’s old proposal, and the official kernel adopting the -tmb spec. There’s been a ton of work on fixing up menu entries for the new structure, and a lot of just general bug fixing, particularly in the Mandriva tools. There’ve been some changes to rpmdrake that quite a lot of users will enjoy, I think - the bug where packages on skip.list could never be installed by rpmdrake is (finally) fixed (and there’s a candidate update for 2007 Spring), and I finally succeeded in persuading Thierry to have MandrivaUpdate respect the ‘updates’ flag, so it will now only consider packages from repositories flagged as ‘updates’ repositories, rather than packages from any and all repositories.
The new draknetcenter consolidated network configuration tool also landed recently, and Boiko’s krandr tool for configuring RandR 1.2 stuff in KDE. So lots of nice new toys![break]De volgende bestanden zijn binnen te halen via de mirror bij SURFnet:Mandriva Linux 2008 RC1 - i586 CD1
