The second pre-release of Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring is here. This pre-release brings a near-final snapshot of KDE 4.0 (final 4.0 packages are currently being uploaded to the Cooker repositories), new NVIDIA and ATI drivers, the chance to test the experimental Nouveau open source driver for NVIDIA cards, kernel 2.6.24rc7, and more. See here for download information.

Excuse me? Why does my comment automatically label me as an "Ubuntu hater", as you seem to imply. I in fact use Ubuntu. And, I enjoy OSNews. So, why should I ignore some news items? Some items simply aren't news and certainly not worthy of entire articles about them. It's the same in all topics. Was it necessary for some major news outlets to spend two entire days discussing everything but the color of Hillary's underwear in the run up to the Iowa Caucuses? Perhaps I'll rephrase: There's a such a thing as unnecessary information.

I would say this is not a big news item yet I think it still is worth posting here. Mandriva is after all a big distro used by quite a few people. Of course it would be annoying if all the possible alpha and prerelease versions were announced here but one every now and then? I see no problem with that.

Err... because you troll every Ubuntu-related story with the same unfounded claims, and complain about OSNews reporting on it, *every chance you get*? And even interject your irrational obsession with Ubuntu into threads on completely unrelated stories, as you have done in this case?
Just a thought.
