OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 Beta2 released

Written by rugyada Monday, 27 June 2016 18:31

OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 Beta2 is here!

The announcement at OpenMandriva Blog:

It was worth waiting for it, we promise! OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 Beta2 is now ready!
Here, check out why:
This second beta has concentrated on improved stability and performance and now, for the first time, has accommodation for the Chinese and Japanese languages using fcitx to support their input methods.

OpenMandriva is a cutting edge distribution compiled with LLVM/clang. Combined with the high level of optimisation used for both code and linking (by enabling LTO) used in its building, this gives the OpenMandriva desktop an unbelievably crisp response to operations on the KDE Plasma5 desktop which makes it a pleasure to use.
The latest release of all the KDE apps is there to support the desktop and help give you a consistent feel.

OpenMandriva Lx 2014.2 The Scion released

Written by rugyada Thursday, 02 July 2015 10:22

OpenMandriva tribute to Mandrake, The Scion, has been released!

Here is our tribute to our founder and the community he and others created.
“The Scion” is a release dedicated to Mandrake, our ancestor, not lost but living on here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmandriva/files/release/2014.2/

Gaël Duval recently stated:
“I read a lot of sad comments on Twitter about it (the loss of Mandriva) and realized that few of those guys seemed to be aware that actually Mandriva, the company, wasn’t doing a Linux distribution anymore for several years. The Mandriva Linux distribution, which earlier forked as PCLinuxOS, Mageia and others, is now OpenMandriva”.

(Gaël Duval is the founder of Mandrake ultimately to become Mandriva)

Just as any offering in the Mandrake spirit should be – it’s even more stable and it has loads of new fun stuff!

OpenMandriva Scion (2014.2) is a major update release of OpenMandriva Lx 2014.1.

Tribute to Mandrake

Written by rugyada Wednesday, 27 May 2015 09:58

OpenMandriva tribute to Mandriva/Mandrake, and announcing new upcoming 2014.2 update release.

Hi there
Good news everyone, a new version of OpenMandriva is ready to see the world in a few days, 2014.2 will soon be making its way to you. Listen out for details, features - and torrents!

OpenMandriva‘s history is well known. It was born at the tail of 2012 with the help of the community and Mandriva SA to continue the work on the distribution after Mandriva SA could not continue that.
We thank Mandriva SA for their support at the start and wish the remaining Mandriva employees well for the future.

The OpenMandriva Association was created to unite the distribution formally known as Mandriva (aka Mandrake); to bring it back to its roots through listening to peoples needs and getting closer to its users and developers. Since then we have been independent (though we  always welcome cooperative effort).  We are glad to say that we continue to do this and will be bringing you a new release of OpenMandriva Lx 3 (2015) in the near future that will include new features and an update of many of the core components.

Mandrake was the first distribution to make a free operating system available which could be installed and configured by anyone who could use a keyboard and a mouse. When many of us first came to the “linux” world, there were two types of distro, the ones that gave you headaches as soon as you put the CD in the slot, and then there was Mandrake. The vision of its founder Gael Duval created an operating system which undoubtedly allowed many, many people access to modern technology and in doing so added greatly to the strength of the free software community.

We do and will do our very best to continue to hold and carry their crown - for you.

Always here for you
OpenMandriva
