Mandriva Linux 2009 Released
a special day for all Mandriva users. Why? Because the MANDRIVA S.A. just released into the wild the new and greatly improved version of the Mandriva Linux operating system. With the 2009 edition, Mandriva Linux will try to compete with the upcoming Ubuntu 8.10 (October 30th), and even to "steal" some of its devoted users. We remind everyone that Mandriva Linux is a freely available, community-based Linux distribution based on the RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) package management system. It includes popular desktop environments, such as GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.1.2, and also the newly added LXDE, a lightweight and modern desktop that fits like a glove on old computers.
Also:
Kicking off what promises to be a couple of months packed full of great Linux releases, Mandriva Linux will today release Mandriva 2009, the latest incarnation of its popular Linux desktop. We take a look at what you can expect.
For a start, Mandriva will ship with both Gnome 2.24 as well as KDE 4.1 (version 4.1.1 was shipped in the second and final release candidate but KDE 4.1.2 was released last week so may well make it into this release.)
