The second pre-release of Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring is here. This pre-release brings a near-final snapshot of KDE 4.0 (final 4.0 packages are currently being uploaded to the Cooker repositories), new NVIDIA and ATI drivers, the chance to test the experimental nouveau open source driver for NVIDIA cards, kernel 2.6.24rc7, and more.

The alpha is available in Free and One editions, with i586 and x86-64 DVDs for the Free edition and i586, KDE-based and GNOME-based CDs for the One edition. As far as testing goes, for this pre-release we are particularly interested in testing PulseAudio, hardware detection and hibernation support.
