This is probably the last chance to test and help Mandriva Linux 2007 before its final release.

Mandriva Linux 2007 Release Candidate 2 Sunna is ready to be tested.

Main changes from RC1 Mona are:

  • Several bugs fixed in rpmdrake
  • Text installation fixed
  • Various fixes to Ia Ora themes
  • arts patched to prevent some problems (apps dying on startup, arts being launched in non-KDE environments)
  • various other bugfixes

    • As you’ve been faithfully doing for the past several weeks, RC2 Sunna is available in many different flavours. Grab one or many from the mirrors, check out the known issues, install it and help us hunt and squash bugs with Bugzilla. Thank you to all testers for the help they’ve been giving. Long hours, short nights. Keep up the effort, we’re almost there now: Mandriva Linux 2007 is almost ready to roll. It’s already rocking :)

    “Here comes the Sun” as they say.

    Read the forums. This RC2 is barely better than a Beta

    I hope people on these forums do send good bug reports to Mandriva. If developers at Mandriva don't know about these problems it is hard to fix them. Anyway RC2 works very well on my laptop, RPMDrake does still have problems and I have reported bugs. And for me this is the first Linux distribution where 3D XGL desktop works out of the box. A little bit more polishing and 2007 will be some very nice release from Mandriva.
