Mandriva Linux 2009 is released
We have today released Mandriva Linux 2009, the new autumnal release of our distribution.
2009 is a bold release which brings the new KDE 4.1 as the default desktop, along with a re-designed installer and Mandriva Control Center and many other new features. Other significant updates include GNOME 2.24, OpenOffice.org 3, Mozilla Firefox 3, and kernel 2.6.27. Key features include new graphical in-line upgrade capability, netbook compatibility, class-leading hardware support, and support for working with mobile devices.
For more details, see the Release Tour and the Release Notes.
Get it at the download page, or go straight to the torrent list.
Et maintenant pour les francophones :

Bonjour johnkaffee,
Pour la version GNOME, pas de soucis, les touches “Fn” sont 100% fonctionnelles. Cependant, sous KDE4.1, il n’y a pas encore de prise en charge des touches multimédia (comme c’est le cas dans KDE3). En ce qui concerne le WiFi, nous sommes toujours en attente d’un correctif. Il y a donc le même soucis que lors de ta venue à notre ateliers d’installation.

Le seul hic c’est les toshiba p100 et le son, une question d’habitude !
J’espère que ça va être réglé sans trop de soucis, le son crache beaucoup mais au moins il fonctionne.

Have tried both RC1 and RC2, and am sure that final will be smoother than both. Unfortunately I see the release information in Office. Can’t wait to get back home and download the torrent.
I fell in love with Mandriva 2008.1 and have helped many friends install and use it. Surely 2009 is going to be another great release that will turn all my Linux aware friends to Mandriva.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:47 am
Just installed the Free version with KDE 4.1 desktop and it works great. I tried other distribution before but they didn’t do their job with the new revolutionary desktop very well. I think Mandriva 2009 is the first one where it works as it should. Now I could only hope Mandriva would make an Oxygen style/theme for other parts of the system as Oxygen looks a lot better then the default style. Keep up the great work!
October 10th, 2008 at 2:30 am
The changes mentioned in release notes are awesome. Certainly one of the best Linux distros. I still feel however, Mandriva should merge the free and One distros or at least make Mandriva One in DVD flavor.
October 10th, 2008 at 11:34 am
With updated FOSS, surely it will rock the Linux space.

Torrent is not the best distribution method for “Subscribers”, mine has been running now for 24 hrs(currently at 67% complete
) …. As for the product, well I have been using Mandrake/Mandriva since Mandrake v6.0, and fell in love with it immediately after a couple of problematic experiences with what was then RHv4, and SuSE …. SuSE especially was a nightmare, and I swore never to go back.
Have used 2009 Alpha1, Beta1, RC1 & RC2, with only minor issues. Installation is still easy for the “newbie”, WiFi support is much improved, KDE4 – nice(smoother icons, more stylish presentation, etc.), also does appear to be – to my view at least – a ‘tad’ more stable/reliable.
Just wish the distro to paid subscribers was faster – i.e. NOT torrent based…. torrents are such a pain in the a**!!!

Defifnitivamente la mejor y más poderosa versión de Linux disponible. La humanísima distribución Ubuntu, no es tan fácil de configurar, no es tan completa, ni tan compatible con todos los dispositivos. Es terriblemente fácil encontrar paquetes compatibles en .RPM y en .sh, así que, nunca estaré preocupado por software. DELL debiera pensar en introducir Mandriva paralelamente con Ubuntu.
October 11th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Simply the best and more powerfull Linux distro available. The human distribution Ubuntu, is not as easy to configure, manage, install, as Mandriva, and is not as complete too. Software availability in the most of cases is better, beacuse you can easy find .RPM and .sh files compatible with many other distros and exclusively with Mandriva; you’ll never be worried about software. DELL should think about introduce Mandriva in parallel with Ubuntu.
October 11th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
genial ya estaba esperando desde hace tiempo impaciente la version final, esta es la merjor distro de gnu/linux

Seguro que Mandriva 2009 es estupenda, pero tengo dos ordenadores; un portátil y otro de sobremesa y en ninguno de los dos se ha podido instalar. Se queda bloqueado el instalador nada más empezar.
Por lo menos yo, totalmente desilusionado con esta distribución.

Désolé de vous casser l’ambiance, mais on a pas dû esayer le même Mandriva 2009. Tout d’abord, je tiens à féliciter ceux qui ont commis cette chose : arriver à faire pire que Vista, quel talent! Le bureau KDE 4 est une horreur à utiliser. C’est d’une complexité effarante, et c’est même pas beau. Pour mettre des icônes sur le bureau, c’est génial! Déjà ça s’appelle plus une icône, et ensuite elles arrivent dans une fenêtre qu’on ne peut pas virer! Et surtout, elles arrivent toutes les unes sur les autres, comme si elles pouvaient pas apparaitre les unes à côté des autres comme sur les bureaux de tout autre OS.
Et le bureau 3D, il est où? J’ai tout tenté, ça marche pas!
La Wifi? Elle marchait très bien sous Mandriva Spring 2008, sous 2009 elle marche plus du tout. Pire, les souris usb ne sont pas reconnue, pas plus que les disques durs externes usb. Même mes clés usb marchent pas. Et que dire de la connexion aux paquetages logiciels! Ca commence le téléchargement puis ça plante, soit disant que Main Contrib est erroné. Hop, on répare ça, on recommence, pareil ça replante.
Quant au son, la carte son doit pas plaire à cette daube vu que mon pc est maintenant muet, aucune carte installée.
Que c’est bien Mandriva 2009! J’ai tenté de m’accrocher 2 jours, me disant que ça de vait venir de moi, j’ai tout retéléchargé et réinstallé au cas où j’aurais été victime d’une erreur de gravage de l’image iso… Toujours pareil, alors que mon pc est tout à fait supporté (soit disant) par cette distrib. Du coup, j’ai réinstallé Mandriva Spring 2008 à la place de ce truc immonde. Je vous souhait bien du courage pour utiliser ça, tant mieux pour vous si ça fonctionne chez vous mais auprès des novices ou des utilisateurs lambdas, je vous fiche mon billet que ce sera un bide pire encore que Vista.

Bonjour Belgarath,
Je suis désolé pour tous les problèmes que vous semblez avoir rencontré sur votre ordinateur et vous invite à les reporter pour obtenir de l’aide :
- http://qa.mandriva.com
- http://expert.mandriva.com
BIen entendu, la communauté Mandriva est là aussi pour vous aiguiller : http://forum.mandriva.com
En ce qui concerne le bureau KDE4, je précise que vous pouvez choisir d’installer GNOME par une simple case à cocher lors de l’installation des produits Mandriva. Une ISO liveCD GNOME est également proposée.
- http://www.mandriva.com/fr/telecharger
Pour le bureau 3D sous KDE4, il est important de noter qu’il suffit de cocher la case “activer les effets 3D” dans le centre de contrôle de KDE et d’y choisir ceux à activer.
Si cela ne marchait pas, je vous invite à utiliser les liens cités ci-dessus pour obtenir plus d’aide et d’informations.
Aux vues du nombre de messages positifs dans les commentaires du blog, je pense que vous réaliserez combien Mandriva Linux 2009 est un produit abouti et complet. Il peut cependant exister certains problèmes sur du matériel qui n’aurait pas été testé durant les phases de beta et rc.
J’espère que vous trouverez rapidement de l’aide pour fixer vos soucis et que vous pourrez ainsi profiter pleinement des nouveautés de Mandriva Linux 2009.

I was highly enthousiactic when I received from Mandriva the e-mail announcing the release of 2009.0…
Unbelievable, it works great! Even more than great, I cannot leave my computer and still want to enjoy this incredibly great version…
I have a second netbook, namely Acer Aspire One… With LXDE package, it works like a normal high-capacity notebook really, even without it… But you will realise what I tell you once you download and install lxde rpm package…
Thank you and congratulations Mandriva, I never complained for almost 7 years using you…
All the best,
Cengizhan

Hola Santanna,
Please check your download:
$ md5sum your-file.iso
And compare it with the md5sum provided by Mandriva (named “*.iso.md5″)
If the md5sum of your ISO is not the same than the one provided by Mandriva, your file is corrupted and you need to download it again.

I think that you tried to download or “Mandriva Free” (DVD) and not our “Mandriva One” (liveCD).
Go on:

And simply choose our “Mandriva One” with KDE or with GNOME.

I am also definitely going to have Mandreiva Linux as my stand alone operating system. It is so cool and easy to use, even far easeier than Ubuntu. Mandriva Linux is the best.
October 20th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I had to install it now the 3th time Mandriva 2009, most software is not working, always error messeges, this distro is not good at all.
I have the stable release and just not good to use at all.
Long live Ubuntu, gOS and ubuntu Studio and Gnome, all the distros I trie it brought me back to gOS and other ubuntu based distros, and they are the only one who work with my hardware out of the box, largest and best repositoris, easiest to use, all the software works on it out of the box, so it is a waste of time to mess around with Mandriva.
Kde is the worsest desktop, gnome is much more easy to configure and is the stablest.
All you ubuntu bashers should stop, it is horrible this distro bashings and linux politics one against the other, you use what you like, and we use what works.

Hi Natalie,
You can use both KDE and/or GNOME on Mandriva Linux.
You just need to choose between KDE or GNOME during the installation process.
You can also download or Mandriva One as “One KDE” or “One GNOME”.

I am a Dreamlinux and Arch user, but have to say that after distrotesting Mandriva, I am very impressed. This release, in my opinion, puts Ubuntu to shame. I will most definitely be recommending Mandriva for new linux users. It is intuitive , both install and setup, and leaves a feeling of stabiltiy and robustness. Here is my distro test on LxH:

2008 and 2008 Spring were more stable, Mandriva 2009 has a lot of glitches, certain video types don’t play, some programs like Kaffeine have no icons just a question mark, they replaced good programs with bad ones. The package list is not as complete as previous versions.
Many fundamental mistakes that become very annoying for the regular user.
Looks just wont do it for me.
I personally was expecting more, looks like they hurried up too much and came out with some full-of-bugs distro.

Hi Nirepsa,
Those bugs are KDE bugs, not Mandriva bugs.
Please upgrade your 2009, KDE has been updated and it’s now KDE 4.1.3 with a lot of improvements.
