[bearbeiten] The new Mandriva Linux: Here Comes The Spring!
Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring is the latest edition of Mandriva Linux, the product of more than than nine years of continuous innovation for desktops and enterprise servers.
In this release, we have integrated the most up-to-date versions of the major components, with the brand new GNOME 2.18 desktop, the latest stable KDE 3.5.6, OpenOffice.org 2.1 (with experimental 2.2 packages available), the latest Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and the upcoming Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0 beta 2.
This release also features an impressive 3D desktop software suite, with the groundbreaking Metisse desktop technology, the latest Compiz as well as all the newest and most impressive Beryl plugins - and you thought you knew what 3D-accelerated desktops looked like...
Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring is built on the solid foundation of Mandriva Linux 2007. Mandriva 2007 Spring automatically runs on a wide range of hardware configurations, automatically detected and configured out of the box by the Mandriva tools. You can download Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring One or download Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring Free, buy boxed or download commercial editions from the Mandriva Store, or join the Mandriva Club and download commercial editions of Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring as one of your membership benefits.
[bearbeiten] GNOME 2.18 shines on Spring!
Mandriva Linux is not a KDE-only desktop. Together with our community of developers, we take great care to provide the best of GNOME, too. Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring is the first major distribution to ship the brand new GNOME 2.18.
GNOME 2.18 shines on Mandriva Spring with this new incremental upgrade, with more visual improvements as well as many new and enhanced applications:
- Tomboy, to keep better track of your important notes and ideas
- GNOME's Disk Usage Analyzer to find about disk space usage
- GNOME's Power Manager to monitor battery and control the processor power usage
- GNOME Document Viewer supporting multiple monitors and multiple instances
- Ekiga 2.0.7 for easy VoIP
- Evolution 2.10 for email and groupware features
- Rhythmbox 0.9.8 to listen your music collection
- F-Spot 0.3.5 to import and manage easily your photos
- Nautilus CD Burner to burn easily data CD and DVD
- Beagle 0.2.16.3 : You'll never wonder where are your documents anymore thanks to its ability to search within dozens of file types
GNOME 2.18 also delivers more security features like digital encryption and signing of files and emails with Seahorse.
With enhancements such as vertical text layout for Chinese and Japanese, full Arabic localization, better dictionary support and additional text-to-speech translations, GNOME 2.18's updated internationalization features complement Mandriva's excellent internationalization perfectly.
GNOME 2.18 shines with new multimedia features and games like glChess and Sudoku. Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring also ships with the new Audio CD burning application: serpentine.

[bearbeiten] The best configuration tools around
The MandrivaUpdate update tool has been given a brand new, simplified interface, giving you all the information you need about available updates, and nothing else!
The rpmdrake package management tool has been greatly improved. A 'select all' button has been added, much more information is available about each package (including the repository it comes from), and performance has been greatly improved.
An updated and improved version of the Mandriva Online applet is included which will provide update notification without the need to register to the Mandriva Online website, upload information about your system, or subscribe to the Mandriva Online service. Update notification simply works right away.
As always, hardware support is improved to cover ever more and newer hardware than before. In particular, support for suspend / hibernate functionality on laptops has once more been improved, and is now based on the pm-utils framework which is fast becoming a cross-distro standard. For more technical details on specific hardware support improvements, see the Technical Release Notes.
