Mandriva Linux 2008 Beta 1 released
The testing cycle for Mandriva Linux 2008 begins with the release of beta 1, codenamed Cassini. Already many of the planned new features for 2008 are implemented, and there’s no really big bugs we know about, so it should be a good release to try out. The release page is here, the 2008 Release Notes (which reflect the status of this beta at present) are here, and there’s a tour of new features here. Not all the features in the tour are done yet, but it’s a good overview anyway. There’s Free CD and DVD editions and a mini ISO: no One editions for this beta, we’ll start doing Ones with future beta releases. That means there’s no proprietary drivers on the ISOs, but you can set up the Cooker non-free repository to get them if you need them. Please try it out and report those bugs to our shiny newly updated Bugzilla!

It was said that beta will be also available via virtual machine (VMWare, virtualbox, …) Is-it planed ? In any case, I have installed this beta for VirtualBox and I can shared it.

Jerome, I checked with Anne this morning – she says we’ll probably do the virtualized images from RC1 onwards.
