Mandriva Linux 2010 Is Finally Out 267

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday November 05, 2009 @02:00AM from the get-it-while-it's-hot dept.

ennael writes "We finally did it. Mandriva Linux 2010 is out and comes with many improvements and innovations. We still go on supporting in the same level of integration GNOME 2.28 and KDE 4.3.2. Support for netbooks is improved as users can now easily test Moblin 2.0 environment. 'Smart desktop' coming from European research is now fully integrated and is the first real working semantic desktop. Mandriva Control Center also brings improvements in tools: a new netprofile management tool, a GUI for Tomoyo security framework, and parental control. A big thanks to our community, who worked hard and made this release possible."

I agree to your points. But I don't consider the *six month release cycle* for non-techies who don't want bleeding edge apps and features. For them there is a LTS release. When a user face such issue during LTS 2 LTS upgrade, it should be considered in par with Windows, whose release cycle is too long. But the internet media hype about "Windows 7 vs Ubuntu 9.10" kind of stupid comparison just to boost their hits.

tuaris writes: Microsoft Windows 7 is suppose to undo the Windows Vista failure and make Windows "cool" again. Microsoft has supposedly spent the last 2 years fixing and changing features based on feedback given by it's customers. Now, two years later Windows 7 is ready, and it's being marketed as a "major improvement" over Windows Vista.

Is Windows 7 everything it's hyped up to be?

ISRO claims that the resolution it offers is more than what Google offers for Indian territory. "Bhuvan" will allow users to have a closer look at any part of the subcontinent, barring sensitive locations such as military and nuclear installations. The site, among other things, offers tools to measure horizontal, vertical and aerial distances. Here is the web site which hosts this application: http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/"
