Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 18, 2007

For those Mandrake faithfuls, Mandriva 2007 Spring is now available. New in Mandriva 2007 Spring is the inclusion of WengoPhone, Google Picasa, and Darkvirt. Darkvirt is a new Mandriva configuration utility designed to help out in virtualization configuration. Out of the box virtualization support in Mandriva includes VirtualBox, VMWare, Xen, and QEMU with KVM. One of the interesting features in this Mandriva release is Nintendo Wii remote compatibility -- so you can now use your Wii remote as a regular joystick under Linux. Also shipping in this release is the Metisse desktop. Package versions include X.Org 7.2, KDE 3.5.6, GNOME 2.18, Firefox 2.0, and OpenOffice.org 2.1. The release announcement can be found here.
