2006.1.0.3 First impressions

I've had 2006.1.0.3 up on my test machine for 4

days now. Mandriva has been putting some considerable

effort into the cold start -> boot -> usable desktop

process and I have to agree that this is one of

the strong points of this first look.

 

There are some package errors during the install but

it all loads in nicely and gets to a working desktop

quickly. They've kinda not done anything with Gnome

for this release so most of that is not usable at

this time.

 

The install, just like previous versions of Mandrake

and Mandriva, behave themselves and don't walk all

over how you have your hard disk configured. So you

can easily dual boot it with other OS's on other

partitions on the same HD. I use the Ranish Partition

Manager for this process.

 

Next official snapshot is set for 2006.02.15
