Like promised in post “Mandriva 2009, before distro kde the 4 based. “eccomi ready to the book review of this splendid one distro. With the last adjective, in effects, me they are tantino a compromise, for which it would have to turn out clear to more the my admiration in the comparisons of the Mandriva team and its last hard work that can boast the last technological innovationes in the field of the open source. However I will not launch myself quickly in an unconditioned praise, are a “ubuntista”, you would have to know it, but I will begin telling of the defects, little to say the true one, in order then to end with the pregi, truly many.
Before beginning, a method motion: the screenshots they are placed at the end of the article and they follow the logical thread of the book review.

DEFECTS
The installation process is still too much slow. Sul mine notebook with RAM 1024 Mb, processore 3 Ghz, has employed approximately 40 minuteren; nearly the double quantity respect to ubuntu.
The system of management of the packages even if ulteriorly improved from the sviluppatori, to my opinion, is still very far away from the performances of apt.
A bug generates the following error: “/root/.kde4/tmp-localhost” points to “/tmp/kde-root” instead of “/root/tmp/kde-root”, when it is wanted to be opened from root rows with a editor of text.
At last, they are not successful to qualify the effects desktop because the compositing it turns out disabilitato in xorg.conf and when I try to qualify it with the option “Enable” to the riavvio is not more succeeded to approach serveur X. Sincerely of this last thing does not import me big thing, also because kde without graphical effects it works that it is a wonder, for which I have not spold more than a lot in the attempt to resolve the problem, indeed if you suggest a solution to me there will be pleasing, otherwise I will pass beyond.

PREGI
Spectacular diagram thanks to Kde 4,1 and plasma. Me also they are amused a tantino to change to the topic and the background using the tool that it allows the directed connection to

It marks it near:

According to me the event is from emphasizing. The release of the first distribution with kde 4,1 of default will be remembered in the years to come like the end of an era, that of the process of stabilization of window manager and the beginning of a successive age that will see always a development constant, which but will have as base an absolutely usable structure and works them.
The Mandriva new, besides kde 4,1, it introduces a installer redesigned, a new Mandriva Control Center, GNOME 2,24, OpenOffice.org 3, Mozilla Firefox 3, and kernel the 2.6.27.

The main characteristics include a graphical new, a advanced ability to modernization online, the compatibility with the netbook, the support improved hardware and the possibility to work with dispositive furnitures. I immediately run to unload it and, as soon as tried, I will launch myself in a book review.
In order now the ball to has it to who already head!
