Mandriva Linux 2008 RC 1 Released

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the marching-on dept.

AdamWill writes "The first release candidate of Mandriva Linux 2008, codenamed Galilee, is now available. The release notes are also available via the wiki. A guide to major new features (some of which are not yet implemented in this release candidate), and the detailed technical specifications are also available. This release candidate is available as a three CD or one DVD Free edition (containing no non-free software or drivers) for the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures, with a traditional installer, and as a mini-CD edition for both x86-32 and x86-64 architectures. A One combined live / install CD edition will be released in the near future (problems with unionfs prevented the One edition from being release at the same time as the other editions)."

    It's still a gay-sounding name, the sort of operating system you expect to find in certain bath houses.

    Nobody cares about their release candidates. All six Mandriva users prefer "stable" releases.
