Citat:Viacheslav Kaloshin has announced the release of Mandriva Linux 2011, code name "Hydrogen": "We are happy to announce that Mandriva 2011 is out." Some of the main new features in this release include hybrid live/installation DVD images, a revised system installer, new graphics theme, RPM 5, a series of new desktop utilities from Rosa Labs, and KDE as the only officially supported desktop environment: "GNOME, Xfce and other desktop environments and window managers are no longer included in the official Mandriva packages. However, contribution packages from the Mandriva community are available for these desktop environments. Starting from Mandriva 2011 only KDE 4 is officially supported.
Razočaran sam sa najnovijom Mandrivom 2011. Instalacija je nešto drugačija u odnosu na ranije verzije. Međutim, ono što je po meni sporno je to što neznaš kada je instalacija gotova. Osim toga, prilikom podizanja sistema javljaju se odrđene linije ( određeno vreme od nekoliko sekundi ) a potom nestanu. Pokušo sam da instaliram Operu 11.50 za linux Mandrivu i nisam uspio. Takođe, kod Firefoxa nisam uspio da instaliram pluginove. Pokušo sam da podesim da mi se sistem automatski podiže kao kod ranijih verzija- nisam uspio. Ima dosta zamršenih stvari u odnosu na ranije verzije Mandrive od 2009 i 2010. godine.
I na kraju da zaključim ( ovo je moje mišljenje), pokušali su da unesu puno novina u vezi izgleda, programa i drugih stvari. Mislim da su samo uprskali stvar tj. mnogo su iskomplikovali - npotrebno.
