MandrakeSoft is happy to announce the first Beta (Beta 1)
of its 7.2 release : Ulysses. Please keep in mind that Ulysses is
still an experimental Operating System, it’s not for daily use! The
purpose is to debug it, so be sure that some things will be broken
in it: use it carefully!

“You may wish to test first all the new features described below
then you can go to the download page to find a mirror near you that
can provide you with an iso of the Linux-Mandrake 7.2-beta 1
(Ulysses).”

“Packages include:

  • KDE 2 beta 4 is here !!!
  • Enhanced GNOME 1.2 is also present
  • XFree86 4.01 is now the default (unless your card is not
    supported) And many other things to discover 🙂
  • There are more than 250 additional packages”
