One month after the final release of Mandriva 2011 comes its second and final release candidate, full of corrections and new additions that I had to comment immediately.

Mandriva2011RC Mandriva 2011 RC2, the last step towards the final version

Echoing the official announcement, more than 300 bugs have been fixed from the previous RC and added or changed about 700 packages. For parties, the new Mandriva 2011 RC2 presented are:

  • VirtualBox Guest Additions installed by default to facilitate testing in VirtualBox.
  • Corrections

  • several in the connectivity software

  • have restored the old drivers for Epson, HP and Lexmark have added new
  • improves support for 3G USB
  • Improvements

  • KDM and Dolphin
  • Improvements added

  • ROSA
  • Improvements in the service

  • synchronization and file storage in the cloud itself Mandriva about which I speak
  • proprietary drivers from ATI and NVIDIA have been eliminated from the installation media for poor performance, although still available in the repositories
  • Work begins on a LTS version (Extended Support) Mandriva 2011 which could be ready later this year
  • are transferring packages from the PLF Community Home distribution, greatly increasing its offer proprietary software drivers and all types
  • continues to design new ROSA topic icons, new wallpapers and a new theme for the cursor

    Continuing with the schedule set, on Thursday April 14 launched Ubuntu 4.11 Beta 2 , the last step towards the final version will be released in just 12 days (remember that there will be RC ).

    Ubuntu banner21 11.04 Beta 2, the last step towards the final version

    release of Ubuntu 4.11 Beta 2 was accompanied, as usual, for the rest of the family, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu , etc, but find nothing worthy of mention in any of these versions that had not already seen in the previous beta, leaving all the limelight from the queen of the house.

    Ubuntu

    11.04 Beta 2 can not come with new features that we did not know, but with very significatvas improvements as far as the much discussed Unity stability is concerned. In practical terms, who tested the Beta 1 and I encourage the Beta 2 (or you go to update since then or before), you’ll notice an interesting change, at best, dressed with small details that also improve usability on the desktop.

    In less than two weeks left until Natty finally makes its appearance Narwhal going to read a lot about this distribution and the changes that will accompany it, so for now I leave you with the link to download Ubuntu 4.11 Beta 2, and another in which more easily find other flavors, via Softpedia (much better than going to the confused pages dedicated).
