Designed to run from a 512 MB USB Flash Drive or from CD this new version comes bundled with VirtualBox OSE, an easy to use virtualisation software which let you run virtual machines at almost native speed. It seems that Mandriva 2007 and VirtualBox are a dream team. Create 'Virtual Machines', run existing VM's from your hard disk. Use this Live CD (or Live USB) in combination with a USB hard drive, packed with your favorite operating systems. The perfect mobile solution. Or just use it to discover what this virtualisation is all about.
* All security and bugfixes updates from MDV 2007 have been applied. Handling of the JMicron controller should be improved.
* And of course all the stunning features of Cherbourg are included. Create a bootable USB pen drive with a few clicks, run the system with the copy2ram cheatcode, make your own personalized live version on-the-fly, mount NTFS partitions read-write.
* KDE desktop environment, konqueror, Opera, Amarok, JuK, kaudiocreator, kmplayer, digikam, KOffice suite, KDE games, Kontact suite, smb4k, kasablanca, kopete, k3b, Ark, kget, kate, Yakuake - and of course MCC, the Mandriva Control Center.
Preparing and creating this VirtualCity edition was fun! Never thought that playing with virtualization could be so entertaining. Thank you korrel (Marco) for packaging the VirtualBox OSE version for Mandriva 2007. And thanks to all testers for the feedback.
I hope you will enjoy this special edition of MCNLive.
