Mandriva Linux 2008 now available
We’re proud to announce that Mandriva Linux 2008 is now available for download on the official site, and on the network of public mirror servers.
The result of six months of heavy development and testing, 2008 includes all the latest software and many enhancements over previous Mandriva Linux releases. You will find KDE 3.5.7 and the new GNOME 2.20 already integrated, a solid kernel 2.6.22.9 with fair scheduling support, OpenOffice.org 2.2.1, cutting-edge 3D-accelerated desktop courtesy of Compiz Fusion 0.5.2, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6, and everything else you’ve come to expect from the latest Mandriva Linux release. We have integrated a reworked hardware detection sub-system, with support for a lot of new devices (particularly graphics cards, sound cards and wireless chips). Also, the addition of new features and ongoing improvements to the renowned Mandriva tools continues, including a wizard to import Windows documents and settings, the new network configuration center, and improvements to the Mandriva software management tools.
You can read about the most exciting new features of Mandriva Linux 2008 in depth in the Release Tour. The Release Notes contain important information on changes from previous releases. The Errata will contain information on any future known issues and solutions for them.
Mandriva Linux 2008 was developed by the Mandriva development community, based around the Cooker development distribution. This open, community-driven development system has been in place since 1998, making it one of the longest-standing open source development communities around. The involvement of the Mandriva development community helps us to make Mandriva Linux one of the largest, most up-to-date, integrated, internationalized and standardized distributions available, for which we thank our contributors greatly. We’re proud of the standardization efforts included in Mandriva Linux 2008, including support for the Freedesktop.org XDG menu, user directories and icon theme specifications.
Mandriva Linux 2008 is available for download free of charge at the Mandriva website. The One installation CD is the recommended download with everything you need to start using Mandriva Linux 2008: it comes with a full KDE desktop and application suite, NVIDIA and ATI proprietary video card drivers, Intel wireless firmware, Adobe Flash and Sun Java browser plugins, all included.
Enjoy your brand new Mandriva Linux 2008 system!

For those looking for GNOME, it is available in the Free and Powerpack editions. You can also add it to the KDE One edition - just install, set up the official repositories, and install the ‘task-gnome’ package. Expect news on a possible GNOME One edition sometime soon.
October 13th, 2007 at 9:25 am
Dan, you can use the Mandriva graphics card configuration tool to set up your resolution. It’s in the Mandriva Control Center, or you can run it as ‘drakx11′.
October 13th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Twinprimes, lots of bug fixes. If you have a working 2008 RC2 install you can update it to 2008 final simply by setting up 2008 repositories using Easy URPMI - http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ - and running ‘urpmi –auto-update’. No need to reinstall.

Ramazan: Your printer has a driver available from Canon. Download the .tar.gz here: http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0022414.asp
All you need to do is extract it and there will be 4 RPMs inside. Install all of them and you should be able to configure your printer in the Mandriva Control Center.
And yeah, where is the One GNOME CD?

Hi,
I just downloaded Mandriva 2008 - 64 bit free dvd, but when I try to install it. It says “loopback error :-(” and install proces aborted :-”. I downloaded it from Taiwan mirror. I own a Compaq Presario V6000 series laptop - V6211AU to be specific. It has a AMD Turion 64 bit dual core processor. Please let me know from where to download a working copy of Mandriva 2008. Can’t wait to install it!
Also one of my friends reported that it crashed his laptop, by overheating it.
Regards,
Vishwas.
October 19th, 2007 at 2:32 am
That’s all nice, but on Monday I tried to download the DVD version, I ran out of space, but now I want to download it again and I cannot find that version. Why is it gone?
Only CD’s are available.
Richard.
