“Mandriva Linux, once an undisputed leader of desktop Linux (and
a distribution that many people loved to hate at the time), has
been through many ups and downs throughout its relatively long
history. Fortunately, it seems that right now it finds itself at
the top of the curve. The reason? The strong support it has been
receiving from the many Mandriva user communities around the world.
As a consequence, several contributed builds of Mandriva Linux 2010
for a variety of tastes and purposes have been made available
recently. One of them, an Xfce build of Mandriva Linux 2010 (an
installable live CD), announced last week by Stéphane
Téletchéa, is now available from the official
Mandriva mirrors (look for it in the devel/iso/contrib/2010.0/
directory). Similarly, the German Mandriva users’ group has
released an LXDE edition of Mandriva Linux 2010 (news story in
German) – an installable live CD with support for several
languages, including English. And finally, those who have been
looking for 64-bit Mandriva 2010 “One” images but couldn’t find
them (unfortunately, Mandriva does not provide any) are also in
luck – the Community64.net web site (in French only for now) has
started building 64-bit live CDs of the latest Mandriva release.
The KDE edition is already available for download from this page
(also in French, but the links are self-explanatory), with more to
come in the next few weeks. It’s refreshing to see all this
community involvement contributing to the growth of Mandriva
Linux!”
