Another beta version of Mandriva Linux 2007 has been released. Still available in four differents versions (KDE or GNOME, i586 or x86_64) and Dual Architecture DVD.
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 :
* GNOME 2.16 beta 2
* Kernel 2.6.17 (based on 2.6.17.8, with ALSA 1.0.12 rc2, i965 support, and new kernel factorization: normal,
enterprise and legacy)
* KDE 3.5.4
* More applications migrated to XDG menus
* New 'Ia Ora' Mandriva Theme (only included in GNOME for now)
* New VPN configuration tool (drakvpn)
