Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris The first beta release of the upcoming Mandriva Linux 2007.1 is now available for download and testing: "Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring Beta1. Main changes: GNOME 2.17; KDE 3.5.6; Firefox 2.0; new suspend and hibernate infrastructure (with bootsplash support); new DNS servers framework (using resolvconf to handle DNS servers from multiple interfaces, and sort them by interface priority); documentation is included on live systems." Update: AdamW, OSNews reader and Mandriva employee, just emailed me that the .iso images of the Mandriva One live version are not yet the official beta version; the version currently on their servers is an earlier version with certain issues. The conventional installation .iso's are fine, though. The correct Mandriva One 2007.1 Beta 1 .iso's will be released early next week.

When is this off-topic stuff going to stop being posted on _every single_ Mandriva story?

It happened a long time ago. It was extensively discussed at the time. This post is about the first beta of ML 2007.1. It has absolutely nothing to do with Gael. Please take the discussion somewhere appropriate. The update you characterize as "fairly recent" is from March 2006 - i.e. nearly a year ago.

Good points, I'm sorry these types of things stick with people (especially in small business)...

I would like to point out that the URL on the linked article that claims to be a 4,446 MB DVD ISO download is actually 349 MB, since you're with Mandriva you might be able to rectify this, or notify the author/editor.

Adam, you can't expect people who care about Mandriva and have been using it for years to forget about Gael as if he was never there.

Well, I agree that firing the creator doesn't give a good image. But you can't forget that actually people like Marly, Blino and Adam are there, working to create a good product (which is the case) and a useful community. Why do you want to keep talking about quite old news and demotivate the one that are still working in Mandriva ?
