New theme and artwork
Mandriva Linux 2010 is shipped with 4 distinctive new themes (or flavours): Free, One, Powerpack and Flash. Each theme will be installed based on the Mandriva edition you are installing, but if you want you can easily use the other themes by installing the corresponding mandriva-theme-<flavour_name> packages.
Under GNOME and KDE environment, the wallpaper will change depending on the hour of the day: if you look carefully you will notice that some subtle changes will occur as the daytime goes by.
Mandriva Linux 2010 screensaver will display a slideshow of different landscapes in the world: our planet is beautiful, please do as much as possible to protect it.
Bootsplash is now managed by Plymouth: it's much more customizable, allowing nice graphical effects during system boot.

Desktop environments
KDE 4.3
Mandriva Linux 2010 includes KDE 4.3.2 as its default KDE desktop. Several years in the making, KDE 4 is the most radical release yet of the leading Linux desktop environment. KDE 4.3.2 is an upgrade in stability and functionality over KDE 4.2. This release will add many new features to KDE 4, including some that were notably present in KDE 3 but lacking in KDE 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2, along with some brand new features. It should also provide a more stable desktop experience than KDE 4.2. Its new features are too numerous to explain in depth here, but some highlights include:
- Data migration from KDE 3: data will be backed up and migrated to KDE 4 (user preferences, emails, ...)
- Hourly background switch: a new plasma widget, plasma-wallpaper-timeoftheday, is now available to have hourly switch of backgrounds (in desktop configuration menu)
- Nepomuk integration: Nepomuk technology has been further integrated. You will be able to organize your desktop depending on your projects, annotate documents, ... Complete information See a demo

Mandriva is no less prompt in bringing you the latest and greatest releases from the other major free software desktop environment, GNOME. Mandriva Linux features the latest and greatest GNOME release, 2.28. Continuing the GNOME 2 tradition of releasing solid incremental updates on a regular schedule, the major improvements in GNOME 2.28 include:

Use Alt+F2 to launch gnome-shell --replace. To remove gnome-shell effects, use again Alt+F2 and launch metacity --replace. gnome-shell status is still experimental. You may encounter problems with some chipsets.

Improved boot performance
Again we worked in Mandriva Linux 2010 to improve boot performance.
Netbook friendly
Back when Mandriva Linux 2008 was released, a certain small computer was causing a bit of a stir in the PC world - the original Asus Eee PC. We recognized it for the game-changer it was, and built 2008 Spring to be Eee-friendly - the first mainstream distribution to integrate polished support for the little, only in size, system. Now that the original Eee has given birth to a whole family of Eee models and inspired a host of netbooks from other manufacturers, Mandriva Linux 2010 is keeping pace.
2010 includes full hardware support for every currently available Eee model. All the Mandriva configuration tools have been tested and tweaked where appropriate to fit into the lower resolution screens common on netbooks, and we have also tweaked some third-party applications for this restraint. As mentioned earlier, we've included the lightweight LXDE desktop but also Moblin in the Mandriva Linux 2010 repositories with great care for netbook users.
The hybrid iso's and Mandriva Seed, the tool which can be used to easily copy the hybrid iso's to USB, make installation on these little machines a breeze. And going beyond the Eee, Mandriva Linux 2010 includes excellent out-of-the-box compatibility with other popular netbooks, such as the Acer Aspire One, MSI Wind and more. If you've got a netbook, Mandriva Linux 2010 may just be its new best friend!

Mandriva-Werkzeuge und Applikationen
Verbesserungen der Paket-Verwaltung
- Du kannst nun die Häufigkeit der Suche nach Updates einstellen, dies kann durch Rechts-Klicken auf das mdkapplet-Icon im System tray oder unter Mandriva Kontrollzentrum > Software-Verwaltung > Update-Frequenz konfigurieren geschehen.
- Da ein Upgrade normalerweise benötigt wird, um hunderte von Paketen zu aktualisieren, ist es jetzt möglich ein Upgrade im «Live»-Modus durchzuführen. Sofern du genug freien Festplattenplatz besitzt, können alle notwendigen Pakete zunächst heruntergeladen und erst dann installiert werden. Dies sollte zu einem glatten Upgrading verhelfen, auch wenn deine Netzwerk-Bandbreite nur gering, deine Netzwerk-Verbindung instabil oder Mirrors während des Upgrade-Prozesses nicht erreichbar sind.
 Konfiguriere die Update-Häufigkeit |
 Nutze Live upgrade |
Unterstützung beim Prüfen von Passwörtern
Das Benutzer-Management, sowohl des Installers als auch von userdrake (Mandriva Kontrollzentrum > System > Benutzerverwaltung), bietet nun einen einfachen Weg, die Sicherheit eines Passwortes zu prüfen. Drei verschiedene Icons (und eine jeweils zugehörige Hintergrundfarbe) signalisieren drei verschiedene Passwort-Sicherheitsstufen.
 Prüfe die Passwort-Sicherheitsstufe |
Redesign von Netprofile
Das Netzwerk-Profil-Verwaltungswerkzeug wurde komplett neu geschrieben. Du kannst damit nun auf einfache Weise Netzwerk-Profile erstellen und anwenden, abhängig davon, wo du dich gerade befindest (zu Hause, bei Freunden, auf Arbeit...).
Um Profile zu verwenden, gehe in die 'Internet & Netzwerk'-Sektion im Mandriva Kontrollzentrum. Öffne Verschiedene Netzwerk-Profile verwalten. Klicke auf den Neu-Button. Nun kannst du dein Netzwerk, urpmi-Medien und Proxy für dieses neue Profil mit den Mandriva-Werkzeugen konfigurieren. Das war's! Mit dem net_applet-Icon oder per Verschiedene Netzwerk-Profile verwalten (draknetprofile) kannst du zum Standard-Profil zurückwechseln.
 Verwalte Netzwerk-Profile mit netprofile |
net_monitor wurde neu geschrieben
In Mandriva Linux ist ein neues Netzwerk-Monitoring-Tool verfügbar, es ersetzt die net_monitor-Applikation des drakx-net-Paketes. Du erreichst es über das net_applet.
 Checke Netzwerk-Verbindungen mit net_monitor |
Neue Installer-Features
Der erste Partitionierungsschritt des Installers wurde redesigned, damit er für nicht-fortgeschrittene Benutzer verständlicher ist
