| About Mandriva
|
| Mandriva Linux was launched in 1998 under the name of Mandrake Linux, with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. At that time, Linux was already well-known as a powerful and stable operating system that demanded strong technical knowledge and extensive use of the command line; MandrakeSoft saw this as an opportunity to integrate the best graphical desktop environments and contribute its own graphical configuration utilities to quickly become famous for setting the standard in Linux ease of use. In February 2005, MandrakeSoft merged with Brazil's Conectiva to form Mandriva S.A., with headquarters in Paris, France. In August 2010 the company suspended the trading of its shares on the Euronext stock exchange. Mandriva SA was formally liquidated in May 2015.

Development Release: Mandriva Linux 2012 Tech Preview |
|
Per Øyvind Karlsen has announced that a technical preview of the upcoming Mandriva Linux 2012 is now ready for download and testing: "As several might have noticed, I already (unofficially) released ISO images for this release a few days ago, but we hesitated a bit about making it official quite yet. As no big blunders have been reported and the feedback has been pretty nice in general, I've now pushed the release to the public mirrors and now consider it as official. This also means that people may now start pushing more experimental stuff to the Cooker again." Here is the brief announcement. The release is built on top of Linux kernel 3.4.1 and includes KDE 4.8.4, GNOME Shell 3.4.1, Xfce 4.10, LXDE 0.5, LibreOffice 3.5.2, Firefox 12.0 and the usual range of open-source software applications.
