[ Thanks to Kadjo

The test period for Mandriva Linux 2006 has now officially begun
with the first beta available.
If you already have a Mandriva system installed you can simply
perform an update with urpmi: the file trees for i586 processors or
64 bit x86_64 compatible processors are on the /devel/2006.0/
subdirectory of the mirrors. You will also find ISO images for 3
CDs, also available for both architectures. Mini ISO files contain
the minimum needed to perform an installation and allow to add
extra package sources from FTP mirrors during the installation.
Not all planned new features are included in this first beta
version. The remaining features will appear in future beta
versions.
