开发版Mandriva Linux 2010 Beta

        Mandriva Linux以Mandrake Linux的名称创建于1998年，其宗旨是让Linux对每一个人都更易于使用。当时，Linux作为操作系统已经以其强大和稳定而著称，但它要求人们有很强的专业知识，并涉及大量的命令行操作；MandrakeSoft认为这是一个将最好的图形桌面环境及其自己的图形界面配置工具集成到Linux中的机会，并且很快就因其树立了Linux的易用性标准而著称。在2005年二月，MandrakeSoft与巴西的Conectiva合并为Mandriva S.A.，总部设在法国巴黎。该公司的旗舰产品Mandriva Linux，以一种易于使用且令人愉快的环境，面向个人和职业用户，提供了Linux的所有功能和稳定性。

        Anne Nicolas has announced the availability of the beta release of Mandriva 2010: "Mandriva Linux 2010 Beta is now available on public mirrors. This beta version is available as the 'Free' edition, 32-bit and 64-bit DVDs and 'One' edition, KDE or GNOME (will be uploaded next week). It comes with many major updates and new exciting stuff: Plymouth is now managing boot splash - it allows many more possibilities for design and effects and it also comes with KMS activation, which reduces screen flickering and permits smooth transitions between boot phase and X startup; the Netprofile tool has been completely rewritten - move your desktop without even thinking about managing your network profiles; Tomoyo GUI is the first GUI for Tomoyo; KDE 4.3, GNOME 2.27.5, Linux kernel 2.6.31-rc6."
