The first release candidate of Mandriva Linux 2008, codenamed Copernic, is now available. The release notes are available here. A guide to major new features (some of which are not yet implemented in this release candidate) is available here, and the detailed technical specifications are available here. 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).

What makes it irrelevant? The fact that you don't use it or understand its history or how much they have done for free software on the desktop?
No, the fact that nobody is talking about it anymore, or at least not as much as before.
And, for your information, i've used all the FIRST releases of mandriva (when it was called mandrake), so I perfectly understand their history.
In every single Mandriva thread, there is somebody posting drivel such as yours, which is bereft of any technical content or real insight.
If you took the time to read my post, you would have seen that I was only wondering if it were an impression of mine, or if it was shared by someone else.
You must be such a mandriva fan boy that you see an attack in everything different from "Mandriva rulez" and so on.
Are you one of those people that think that everyone should switch to the one true distribution, which happens to be whatever you are currently using right now?
No, I'm just someone who likes to understand what's happening around, and who likes to talk with other people and hear their opinions.
Something that you are clearly not able to do.
