Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 2nd of May 2014 12:26:32 AM Filed under
All of us in the OpenMandriva Community are pleased to announce the release of OpenMandriva Lx 2014.0 Phosphorus!
This release is the culmination of a huge effort by our community to bring a fresh, new release of good quality to our supporters and – to the world!
The name of our release, taken from the Greek meaning “Light-Bringer”, describes our hopes for this work. What you will have on your disks in a few hours will, we hope, will showcase some of what our predecessors might have done if they had continued their work. We wanted to rekindle the spirit and hope that made their efforts so exciting and in doing so pass that same feeling on to you.

OpenMandriva Lx 2014 Beta Is a Breath of Fresh Air with a KDE Soul
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 26th of March 2014 07:00:47 PM Filed under

You mustn't confuse the former Mandriva community and operating system with OpenMandriva, as they are completely separate entities. The company behind Madriva still exists, but it hasn't released anything since 2011. OpenMandriva shares some of the original values of Mandriva, but the developers have been a lot more active and they managed to release quite a few new versions until now.

OpenMandriva Lx 2014.0 Beta is here!
Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Tuesday 25th of March 2014 04:23:28 PM Filed under
The 2014.0 beta is a fantastic sneak-peek at what will become the final release of OpenMandriva Lx 2014.0. That being said, it is a beta, and as such you may encounter issues that prevent you from using the system normally.

Multiboot Laptop Update
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 20th of March 2014 09:17:07 AM Filed under


When I bought the ZaReason Strata Laptop, I asked them to pre-load Mageia 4 to it. However, I knew that I was going to add more distros to the hard drive as soon as I can, to make it feel like the pentaboot HP Pavilion that died on me.
To begin, I wiped the original install and re-installed Mageia. Then, I tried to put PCLinuxOS into the hard drive, but the distro had problems with the display. As I could not achieve a decent display, I decided to do some research and try with PCLinuxOS later.

On my new laptop: ZaReason's Strata 7440
Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 23rd of February 2014 01:01:51 PM Filed under



Getting Mageia 4 on the laptop was no big deal. In fact, I used the 64 bit version of the OS and everything worked, even the Japanese IME with iBus.
Then I tried to get PCLinuxOS and, unfortunately, had problems with the display. I need to see if I can get to correct the problem later.
The other OS that I installed to the Strata was OpenMandriva 2013. The only problem was the lack of Wifi connectivity... It was solved easily adding the appropriate packages.
