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!

I always loved Mandriva for its user-centric approach in computing. Though I am die-hard PCLinuxOS fan I am definitely going to try mandriva 2008 edition, this release note is too mouth-watering.

What are the differences between RC2 and the released version ?
I’m glad 2008.0 is out .. but what about the One version with Gnome ? I’m expecting like a lot of people. I’m using Linux mint so far & now really depend on Gnome (fast, reliable). I want to test & compare .. Please people from Mandriva clarify this ! One with Gnome is EXPECTED.
You could have squeezed Gnome in there somewhere, surely…
I do not like KDE at all.

Does anyone know how to change the max resolution cause mine is stuck on 800×600 and with a 32″ display this just does work for me, it would if i was trying to use it from 30 feet away but i cant take this. In Ubuntu you can change some XF86Config file to change the max res. Any ideas??????
