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 else do you contribute to the discussion?
Nothing else, because you completely move the point elsewhere from where my post was.
you call me a fanboy, you could have also called me a zealot. Those two seem to go together well when people run out of logic or anything to say.
The logic of my post was to clear to everyone, except to you. The logic was: "I think mandriva is loosing attention from media and from user".
Yet I am tired of people pissing on somebody else's work, which is what your implicit question about mind-share really was.
Again, acting like a fanboy (or zealot, if you prefer).
I wasn't pissing the work of anyone. Saying that mandriva is loosing mindshare is not the same of saying that their work is a shit.
("Do others agree?")for some form of validation.
Yes, I was searching for validation.
I know you think you know the ONLY TRUTH, well, I don't.
Since the popularity of a Linux distro is not an easy thing to estimate, i asked other OSnews reader if they are getting to the same conclusion i did.
That said, learn to read or learn some logic before replying to my posts again. Maybe you'll get to reply something related to what i write.
