Mandriva近日將釋出「Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring」這個新版本。
[@more@]
Mandriva原先的產品週期是一年，不知道為什麼現在又要釋出一個新版本「Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring」。這個版本其中最大的特點是加入Metisse，這個視窗管理技術。Mandriva提到Metisse並非只是3D加速桌面而已，他更是
Human-Computer
Interface (HCI) technology。而且Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring中也包含了更新版本的compiz及bery1。
如果你想知道Metisse可以達到一個什麼樣的境界，請參考

Linux 2007 Spring將釋出Free (the
purely free Mandriva Linux), One (the live/install CD), Discovery (for
Linux beginners), Powerpack (for advanced users) and Powerpack+ (for
small businesses)這五種版本。

Paris,
March 22rd 2007 – Mandriva, the global Linux distributor, is
pleased
to announce the upcoming release of its new distribution:
Mandriva
Linux 2007 Spring.
Mandriva
Linux 2007 Spring will provide up-to-date and freshly
released
open source software.
What
is the key innovation of Spring? The breakthrough technology
presented
last January during the Solutions Linux event in Paris:
Metisse,
an innovative window management technology. Unlike the widely
known
3D-accelerated desktops with the "cube" effect and other
visual
enhancements,
Metisse offers an innovative way to manage windows: only
the
windows move, making the possible variations endless! Metisse is not
a
3D-accelerated desktop but a Human-Computer Interface (HCI)
technology
that
revolutionizes the user experience.
Mandriva
Linux 2007 Spring also provides the newest versions of the
Compiz
and Beryl 3D-accelerated desktops.
Together,
Metisse, Compiz and Beryl – with the convenient Mandriva
configuration
tool – make Mandriva Linux the most up-to-date
distribution
as far as the graphical environment is
concerned.
Mandriva’s integration work renders Metisse available for
all,
for an enhanced user experience. Metisse is not a 3D-accelerated
desktop
but a Human-Computer Interface (HCI) technology that
revolutionizes
the user experience.
