Odin, chief God of the Norse pantheon. He stands for wisdom, war, battle, death, poetry, magic, prophecy, victory, hunt. More about him on Wikipedia.
Odin, the second Mandriva Linux 2007 Beta. It stands for:

• GNOME 2.16 beta 2
• Kernel 2.6.17 (based on 2.6.17.8, with ALSA 1.0.12 rc2, i965 support, and new kernel factorization: normal, enterprise and legacy)
• KDE 3.5.4
• More applications migrated to XDG menus
• New ‘Ia Ora’ Mandriva Theme (for now only included in GNOME)
• New VPN configuration tool (drakvpn)

Yes, the new Mandriva Linux 2007 theme is already available for GNOME! It’s called Ia Ora, meaning “Hi” in Polynesian (”Hello” is “Ia Orana”).

::UPDATE - Odin screenshots are already available on Flickr::

Then download Odin, install and test it before you feed our Bugzilla with those juicy reports.
