Mandrake Linux 8.2 ProSuite Edition Englische Version --SONDERPREIS---

Auch KDE 3 Release Candidate 2 im Paket enthalten
MandrakeSoft hat jetzt seine Linux-Distribution Mandrake Linux 8.2 fertig gestellt. Damit will Mandrake eine "die beste all-in-one Lösung" sowohl für Server als auch Desktopsysteme anbieten. Neu in der aktuellen Auflage ist unter anderem die Unterstützung für verschlüsselte Dateisysteme sowie mit "kernel-secure" zusätzliche Sicherheitsfeatures für den Linux-Kernel.



Zudem enthält Mandrake Linux 8.2 einen speziellen "Enterprise Kernel", der mit SMP- (Symmetric Multi Processing) und Hi-Memory-Support(über 1024 MB) ausgestattet ist. Zudem soll die neue Version durch eine einfachere Drucker- und Scanner-Konfiguration, neue File-Sharing-Features sowie verbesserten "Hot-Plug"-Support glänzen.

Die neue Desktop-Fernsteuerung RFBdrake erlaubt zudem die Kontrolle über eine LAN- oder Internetverbindung. Außerdem hat Mandrake MSEC überarbeitet, ein Tool, mit dem sich ein Sicherheits-Level für das System festlegen lässt - Standard, High, Highest, Paranoid. Dieses soll deutlich mächtiger sein als zuvor.



Mandrake 8.2 bringt zudem die aktuellen Versionen GNOME (1.4.1) mit, aber auch KDE 3 in Form des Release Candidate 2 steht optional zur Verfügung. Mit Evolution 1.0.2 findet sich zudem ein vielseitiger Outlook-ähnlicher E-Mail-Client und Personal Information Manager im Paket. Neu dabei ist zudem StarOffice 6.0, das in der ProSuite und der PowerPack Edition enthalten ist.



Mandrake Linux 8.2 basiert auf dem Linux Kernel 2.4.18 und der glibc 2.2.4 und ist für x86-Prozessoren ab sofort erhältlich. Eine Version für die PowerPC-Plattform soll in Kürze folgen.

Ohne Update-CDs kostet das Paket 119,- US-Dollar. Die Mandrake Linux 8.2 PowerPack Edition mit sieben CDs und zwei Handbüchern gibt es für 69,- US-Dollar.

New desktop features include a completely redesigned Mandrake
Control Center that serves as a central location for Mandrake-specific
tools and utilities, as well as many new configuration wizards.
Desktop users will appreciate the task-oriented menus in GNOME
and KDE which greatly simplify locating applications by categorizing
them into common "tasks". MandrakeFirstTime is an easy-to-use
wizard that helps setup a desktop environment (KDE, GNOME, etc.),
choose a theme and configure email settings. DrakNet, the Internet
connection and network utility, efficiently helps users configure
all types of network connections, from common dial-up modems
to DSL and cable connections. The reworked version of MSEC, a
utility for configuring the security level of a machine (Standard,
High, Highest, Paranoid) is more powerful than ever. Also included
are the latest stable versions of KDE and GNOME which both offer
some great new features and applications such as anti-aliased
fonts and Evolution (an Outlook-like email client and personal
information manager). StarOffice 6.0 is included with the ProSuite
and PowerPack Editions.

New server features include the ability to use an encrypted
filesystem for protecting sensitive data; "kernel-secure"
adds important security features to the default Linux kernel;
and an "Enterprise" kernel delivers SMP (Symmetric
Multi Processing) and Hi-memory support (above 1024 MB) for high-end
servers. Mandrake Linux 8.2 also introduces a quick and efficient
way to set up printers and scanners; a new file sharing feature
for easily sharing files and directories in a networked environment;
and improved "hot-plug" support that lets users install
new devices quickly and painlessly without having to reboot the
system. A new remote desktop utility, RFBdrake, is extremely
useful for controlling machines remotely within a LAN or securely
through the Internet.

With version 8.2, Mandrake Linux proves that it is the ultimate
Linux experience. This new release is the result of our four
year commitment to providing the best operating system ever.
Mandrake Linux has long been the preferred Linux distribution
for individuals, but Mandrake 8.2 marks a new step in our penetration
of the corporate environment. The features and unparalleled ease
of use make 8.2 an incredibly efficient and affordable alternative
to UNIX and Windows 2000" said Jacques Le Marois, CEO of
MandrakeSoft.
