Mandriva Linux 2010 RC2 Released For Public Testing

From DailyTech: The team behind the Mandriva Linux operating system recently announced the immediate availability of the Mandriva Linux 2010 Release Candidate 2.

The update mainly fixed user-reported bugs, but had several new software packages, with kde 4.3.2, GNOME 2.28, Poulsbo, Nepomuk, and Moblin included. Moblin is one of the latest mobile Linux GUIs available, and Mandriva has become the first distribution to use it.

Missing from RC2 is the KMyMoney2 personal finance manager, which wasn't included due to being "too unstable for now." Furthermore, the RC2 release shouldn't be used to upgrade over Mandriva Installations, as the developers note "unresolved issues" related to KDE and GNOME may render the install useless.

In the Mandriva Linux Spring 2009 release six months ago, the OS boot time increased up to 25% and KDE 4.2.2 was shipped as the default OS.

The final release of Mandriva Linux 2010 will be introduced on November 3.
