Mandriva Flash 2008 Spring released
Last week saw the release of Mandriva Flash 2008 Spring, the latest edition of the popular Flash distribution-on-a-USB-key product. Flash is a full, bootable Mandriva Linux distribution on a high-quality USB key. Just plug Flash into almost any computer, turn it on, and you can boot into your own personal Mandriva desktop. The new edition - besides being based on our latest main release, Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring - doubles the capacity of the key to 8GB and introduces a new feature which lets you install Mandriva permanently to the hard disk of the system on which you are running it. It's also fully compatible with the Asus Eee 701 and 900 models, right out of the box.
Mandriva Linux 2009 plans announced
The week also brought the unveiling of the schedule and feature plans for the next Mandriva Linux release, Mandriva Linux 2009. The release is set for early October, with the first alpha due on June 25th - just a few days away. Significant planned features include KDE 4, Firefox 3, OpenOffice.org 3, a new design for the installer, a live distribution upgrade mode for MandrivaUpdate, and improvements to many of the Mandriva tools. Take a look and see what you may find on your system when the final Mandriva Linux 2009 release is available.
