Given the choice of enjoying the summer in the beautiful south of California
or working on the Mandrake Linux distribution, the twisted MandrakeSoft
developers chose to stick around and present "Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1".
As with any Beta, this one is probably loaded with nasty bugs which may cause
serious problems on production systems. Betas are only suitable for
installation on test systems -- you've been warned!
A "feature freeze" will happen soon, so for anyone willing to put down their
bottle of suntan lotion long enough to download & test the new Beta, you will
enjoy:
New desktops:
KDE 3.0.2 and GNOME 2.0 with
* new icons on the KDE desktop
* new user images
* new wallpaper
Packages:
Of course you will find the latest & greatest versions of the main packages,
including:
* kernel 2.4.19 RC1
* XFree86 4.2, which supports many video cards previously only supported in
3.3.6...
The full list of packages and detailed informations on how to participate in
the test cycle are available at
