We're getting closer to the final version of Mandrake Linux 9.0. This Release
Candidate offers a first opportunity to evaluate all the job done during the
Beta stages.

The development team wish beta-testers to focus on the following applications:

- GNOME2, KDE3, OpenOffice: These stellar applications have undergone many
improvements, they deserve a new evaluation.

- Dynamic Desktop: When plugging-in a peripheral device, Dynamic Desktop
enables the automatic display of a shorcut easing the launch of an associated
application in KDE or GNOME. Dynamic Desktop is now functional for USB
storage. Please give it a try.

- Drakconf: We would like to obtain your feedback on the new ergonomics and
look.

- Mozilla 1.1, finally why wouldn't you play with the latest Mozilla ?
According to the release notes, Mozilla 1.1 offers improved application and
layout performance, stability, Web site compatibility, CSS, DOM and HTML
standards support.
