The first beta version of Mandriva Linux 2007 has been released. Available in four differents flavours (KDE or GNOME, i586 or x86_64), you can get a glimpse of the next Mandriva Linux 2007 edition. Note that not all of the new features have been implemented yet and that a beta version is not bug-proof. This is why we strongly encourage everyone to test and report any bugs or surprises they may encounter.

Main changes :
  • New Mirror structure
  • New network popup notifications (on network state mainly)
  • Gnome 2.16 beta 1
  • Kernel 26.17
  • KDE 3.5.3
  • Updated wireless application (drakroam) (encryption mainly)
  • Switch to new standard menus, XDG (in progress)

Gak! Mandriva is such an ugly desktop. But then again, what can one do with Gnome and KDE to arrive at point near OSX and Vista? Linux is so far behind commercial desktop client operating systems there is little point in using it. XGL has loooooooong way to go.

Linux isn't about looking pretty... It is about performance and stability. IF you consider where linux was a few years ago, it has come a long way in terms of appearance and user-friendlyness.

Maybe you don't know XGL and Compiz, it's Vista that is far behind them man.
