Mandriva, created in 1998, is a fast and stable binary based operating system. Their goal is to be the easiest to use distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system available. Mandriva 2005 is a milestone for MandrivaLinux as it's the first release under the new name.
Mandriva 2005, released to club members on April 13, is said to also mark the beginning of a slower one-release-per-year cycle. As a result, they have also adopted a new naming scheme. Moving from the familiar numerical versioning, we will now see names based on the year of release. It appears they are backing away from their bleeding-edge reputation as well, despite mixed feeling from the community. This is reportedly in response to requests from users and customers for a greater investment of time into the development of new features and functions. In Mandriva 2006, due out fall of 2005, they will be integrating unspecified Conectiva technology. They are hoping with a new name, new features and a new release cycle will come a new reputation. Perhaps 2005 is the beginning of that.
Featuring a 2.6.11.6 kernel, Firefox 1.0.2, The Gimp 2.2, GNOME 2.8.3, KDE 3.3, gcc 3.4.3, openoffice.org 1.1.4, Mandriva is striving to be the operating system of choice not only amongst Linux users, but computer users worldwide - both consumer and enterprise.
So what's new?
Under the hood:
Deltarpm from SuSE it is aimed at providing smaller updates for MDK 10.2. Basically, a .delta.rpm is a binary diff between two RPMs with the header of the new package copied to the new .delta.rpm. This means the resulting rpm acts as a real rpm: you can query files on it, check deps, etc. but you can't install delta rpms directly.
Mandriva provides an easy way to make delta rpms using "mkdeltarpm" in the following manner:
$ mkdeltarpm <old package> <new package>
so for example:
$ ./mkdeltarpm old/xfsprogs-2.6.3-1mdk.i586.rpm new/xfsprogs-2.6.131mdk.i586.rpm
Dynamic File System Monitoring
The fam daemon, which was the default tool for providing notification to userspace about modifications to the filesystem, was plagued with problems, primarily related to locking of devices. For Mandrakelinux 10.2, famd is being replaced by gamin which eliminates many of these problems.
New urpmi features
a new option --retry was added, to specify how often a mirror should be retried.
urpmi can now use iso image as a removable media.
you can now use variable in media url, for more flexibility.
Magicdev is replaced by gnome-volume-manager and HAL.
Magicdev, the software that used to be in charge of mounting usb key on the desktop, is replaced by gnome-volume-manager and HAL.
multiarch
In order to enhance support of 32 bit development on a 64 bit architecture, a new system has been added to sort arch dependent files.
Perl
Perl has been built without thread support.
aspell
Ispell is now completely replaced by aspell, which is still being actively developed.
On the Surface
Installation
The installer was improved and now uses compressed loopback as found in MandrakeMove. This makes it possible to mount a compressed filesystem like a block device and seamlessly decompress its data while accessing it, allowing one to squeeze more out of the cdrom than the normal uncompressed space will allow.
You can now use isos on the disk. This means one doesn't have to extract all isos to a central directory to use more than the first iso. Once upon a time if you wanted to use isos on your disk as an install media, the installer only saw the first iso image. Anything needed from the others would have to be installed after boot of system. Now one can just specify the directory holding the isos and the installer will now see them all. Wonderful exciting improvement!
KDE
Kde 3.3.2 has been chosen over kde 3.4 for its maturity. However many bugfixes and some important new features ( kpdf, gdm theme support for kdm ) were backported by the Mandrakelinux KDE team into the packages included.
Changes to the Kmenu Button
- In order to highlight the Kmenu button in a more obvious fashion, a text label has been added that says "menu". However this can be removed by editing ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc and adding kmenutext=false
New Look Login Manager
- There is a new feature in the default login manager (KDM) for this release which allows it to be themed like GDM. The default theme is quite attractive and functional, however you can revert to the older kdm behavior by editing /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc to reflect UseTheme=false.
Gnome
For stability reasons the version of GNOME included is 2.8.3. Some features include:
gnome-control-center improvements including:
Added desktop file for the font method.
theme-thumbnailer doesn't require an absolute path
updated translations (bg, da, id, it, nso, sq, zh_CN, zu)
gdm:
Do not init the wm twice if gdm_wm_init is called twice.
Always destroy dialog widget in greeter to fix non-fatal error dialogs from hanging around.
Added Afrikaans, Northern Sotho, South African English, and Zulu to language translations.
basic bug fixes, new translations, and added documentation all over.
Sound
Sound multiplexing with ALSA
Now, applications that use the ALSA api for playing sound will automatically use the dmix plugin by default on sound cards that do not support hardware mixing.
dnsoop plugin is also set up, thus allowing several applications to record simultaneously from the same sound card.
TiMidity MIDI synthesizer
- Now TiMidity, a MIDI playback engine, can be executed as a ALSA sequencer client. This means it can act as a software synthesizer.
X.org
X.org version 6.8.x is now shipping with an experimental extension called Composite. This means you can enable transparency in your X environments. They warn of stability issues with this feature and disable it by default. Please see the notes in my Fluxbox article to enable.
Multimedia keyboards
Newer multimedia keyboards can now be configured via the keyboarddrake applet in the Mandrake Control Center. GNOME and KDE have already been configured with certain default actions for common multimedia keys.
Misc:
MCC has now an expert option to display advanced tools.
Mozilla suite has been replaced by Firefox, Thunderbird and nvu.
Samba can now automatically share new CUPS printers.
Network interfaces are now initiated in the background to speed up the boot process.
G menu specification is being used to generate the menus.
My Experience:
The installation was painless and quick. The changes under the bonnet made for a more stable and faster install yet the interface remained familiar in appearance. The sequence of events and the manner executed are very similar to Mandrake installs of releas

Бага с доступом ликвидирована. 
Сейчас работает? ftp сервер не загружен...
Сорри поздно заметил.
Сейчас сервер ОК.
Сейчас сервер ОК.
а можно вопрос про кноппикс - какой сейчас мазовей, 3.8 или 3.9 ?
3.9 лучше.
а Limited Edition - это плохо или хорошо? 
Это ровным счетом ничего не значит!
Кроме того, что это промежуточный релиз между 10.1 и 2006.
В него не вошли технологии и разработки Бразильской фирмы Connectiva, которую Mandrake приобрела в этом году(отсюда и LE).
Сразу отмечу, что у этого релиза очень хорошая поддержка железа.
На той куче машин, что я уже успел поставить этот дистрибутив, все заработало сразу и без проблем. Единственное НО, моя машина была исключением!
Проблема исчезла при переходе на x86_64 версию.

фтп не подключается к тебе 
Done
Сегодня появился диск DVD9 с SUSE9.3.
Там версии для i586 и x86_64.
Обещанные диски Mandriva:
CD5-6(i586)
4CD(x86_64)
Пока отсутствует DVD x86_64(Mandriva)
Когда будет? Без понятия. Нигде нет!
Как только, так сразу.
Сейчас перевожу все дерево на дочернее зеркало в Швеции.
Так, что в конце недели могут быть перерывы в работе сервера(т.е комп будет работать по Win и Lin разделы не будут доступны)
Все это делается с целью улучшить состояние зеркала, ввиду тог, что бывшее зеркало на Черноголовке, прямо скажем не очень. Много битых файлов(постоянные пользователи наверно это заметили).
После апдейта зеркала, прошу писать о битых файлах, с целью их замены.

а скоро сервер поднимется?
качать хочу!
качать хочу!
Поднял.
Во время сессии мне часто приходится грузится в W. Как следствие доступ к Lin разделам отсутствует.
Но соответствующим приватом можно сообщить о потребности в работающем серваке.
Я почти всегда сижу под L, но сессия исключение. Приношу свои извинения.
Пишите в приват!

Хочу заметить, что мой комп окончательно исчезнет из сети в районе понедельника или вторника. Всех заинтересованных прошу заранее позаботится о скачивание нужного вам контента.
Также сообщаю заранее, что в сентябре версия линукса Mandrake10.1 будет удалена с моего сервера, и больше поддерживаться не будет(кроме обновлений, который будут производится вплоть до выхода Mandriva2007)
Спасибо.

Обновления на сервере Mandriva(Mandrake)Сразу хочу принести свои извинения пользователям сервера, за долгое отсутствие машины в сети(что только у меня не ломалось за это время...)
Итак появились:
1)Mandriva 2005LE(DVD,4CD,1CD-Extra-Drivers):
ftp://.gznet.ru/pub/Soft/ISO/Mandriva2005/
Диски 5-6 будут в ближайшее время. Версии для x86_64 также ожидаются скоро.
2)SUSE9.3(DVD, 5CD):
ftp://.gznet.ru/pub/Soft/ISO/suse9.3/
3)Knoppix 3.8(CeBIT_Edition):
ftp://.gznet.ru/pub/Soft/ISO/Knoppix/
4)Solaris10(DVD-x86):
ftp://.gznet.ru/pub/Soft/ISO/solaris/
ВАЖНО!
Я советую тем , кто собирается обновить Mandrake старой версии до Mandriva сделать бэкап своей системы!
Почему это важно?
1)Вы заведомо сбережете данные, которые вполне могут вам понадобится в дальнейшем
2)При возникновении ошибки вы всегда сможете вернуть систему в первоначальное(рабочее) состояние
Ради эксперимента, я снес всю систему начисто и восстановил ее за 40мин!
Далее будет описана процедура бэкапа под Mandrake.
а) В разделе “Система” жмем на пункт ”Настройка резервного копирования данных системы и пользователей”
б) Жмем “Мастер настройки”
в) Выбираете нужные вам пункты и жмете “Далее”
г) Указываете расположение будущего архива(НЕ ХРАНИТЕ БЭКАП НА ПАРТИЦИИ КОТОРУЮ ВЫ БУДИТЕ ФОРМАТИРОВАТЬ ИЛИ НА КОТОРУЮ БУДИТЕ СТАВИТЬ НОВУЮ СИСТЕМУ)
д) Сохраняемся
е) Нажав “Зарезервировать немедленно” вы сохраните в сжатом виде все, что нужно
Посмотрите расширенную настройку мастера для более детальной подстройки!
Для тех кто устанавливает по сети:
1)Пользуемся описанием этой процедуры которое было написано мной раньше:
2) Путь до искомого файла немного другой:
ftp://.gznet.ru/pub/mirror/Mandrakelinux/official/i586-2005/install/images/boot.iso
3)Путь к папке установки:
/pub/mirror/Mandrakelinux/official/i586-2005/
Настройка обновлений:
В консоли набираем(копируем) следующую команду(под root)
urpmi.addmedia - -update update_source ftp://.gznet.ru/pub/mirror/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/2005/main_updates/ with ../media_info/hdlist.cz
