Alpha spotting: Mandriva Spring 2008 Alpha 1
Mandriva Alpha 1 was released today. So I downloaded the ISO onto europa and booted 'er up. Mandriva Spring 2008 fired up without any issues on this hardware. Overall it's quite usable and stable for an alpha.
What's more, I'm encouraged by the evolutionary polish that this release exhibits. Consider, as one example, how text is rendered.
Firefox (2.0.0.11) running on this release of Mandriva provides the best readability experience by far of any Linux distribution I've touched to date. Every difficult web site I know about that fails to render well under older distributions renders perfectly with this combination.
