MandrakeSoft is proud to announce that the beta 3 of the
upcoming Mandrake Linux 8.1, “Raklet”, has hit the mirrors.
Sticking to the path opened by the 8.0 version, Mandrake Linux 8.1
Beta 3 provides a bunch of innovations, more user-friendly and
breathtaking tools, and –as always with a Mandrake distribution–
highly up-to-date software.
Changes and improvements since the beta2:
New software:
GRio500 (Mp3 player Rio 500 synchronizer)
Reworked DiskDrake (disk partitioner) that now allows the configuration of network filesystems (Samba or NFS) mount points.
New Mandrake Server Wizards: Professional configuration wizards to allow fast and enhanced enterprise server setup.
Prelude 0.4.2 (Intrusion detection system), see http://prelude.sourceforge.net/ for more information
Gnomemeeting 0.10 (Video conferencing software H323 compatible)
Libsafe (Stack Overflow protection), for increased security.
Bug fixes:
* LVM
* Fstab corrected for a better removable medias management
* Ext3 (now usable on a / partition)
* Devfsd
* RpmDrake
* KDE-nsplugins
CAUTION: JFS is back but still buggy.
