New features include the Kat Desktop Search Environment, an interactive firewall, and enhanced wifi support with Mandriva being the only Linux distribution certified for Centrino hardware. The integration of technology from Conectiva and Lycoris has led to improved installation (in 40+ languages), better package management, and quicker boot time."

  1. Apple Save US Please! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    After Apple got dumped by IBM, the writing is on the wall for Mac hardware - no one but the diehard Mac folk are going to be wasting money on overpriced x86 machines from Apple next year.

    Apple needs to overcome their 'Linux is teh suck' attitude and move their desktop stuff over to run on top of Linux. Save us from two half-assed Windows 95 ripoffs. Save us from retarded software installation. Give me Cocoa with Eclipse + Interface Builder. And bring me the head of the clown responsible for Xcode.

    Help me Apple engineers, you're my only hope.
