2008 is out
finally, it’s done (and I greatly resemble a zombie right now) - 2008 is out. really happy with this release, it’s going to be a stonker, I hope. also up, you will note, is the new www.mandriva.com . Still a bit rough around the edges, but it now has big green download buttons. I hope you’re all happy!
2008 release story is here. Please, Digg it, Slashdot it, spread it all over the known universe if possible.
I am going to go buy some milk. Milk is good.

Hi adamw.
I just finished the Mandriva PWP 2008 in my laptop. Looks great and works fine! (and the KDE start sound sounds little ethnic-*buntic? :D) Great job. When in January 2007 i decided use Mandriva as my first “real” experience in Linux, i don’t guessed how fast, easy and smooth will be my own evolution.
Note this: From “I never could make a linux system work” on January to “I have my own webserver, host my own blog with mail support, using a virtual machine to do it” actually.
I believe that the quality of Mandriva 2007, 2007 spring and (now) 2008 has some relation. Also, the great spanish community are “guilty” too
Thanks to you and your colleagues on the Mandriva team, are a lot of people out there that discover, learn and enjoy the Linux “experience”, just as me. Don’t leave this path.
Allright, this seems a gratefulness speech for an award or some also. So, let me finish saying an small critic:
I don’t like the theme of your blog.
See you up on the road to 2008 spring!
