Odin the Wanderer from WikipediaOdin, chief God of the Norse pantheon. He stands for wisdom, war, battle, death, poetry, magic, prophecy, victory, hunt. More about him on Wikipedia.
Odin, the second Mandriva Linux 2007 Beta. It stands for:

  • GNOME 2.16 beta 2
  • Kernel 2.6.17 (based on 2.6.17.8, with ALSA 1.0.12 rc2, i965 support, and new kernel factorization: normal, enterprise and legacy)
  • KDE 3.5.4
  • More applications migrated to XDG menus
  • New ‘Ia Ora’ Mandriva Theme (for now only included in GNOME)
  • New VPN configuration tool (drakvpn)

Yes, the new Mandriva Linux 2007 theme is already available for GNOME! It’s called Ia Ora, meaning “Hi” in Polynesian (”Hello” is “Ia Orana”).

::UPDATE - Odin screenshots are already available on Flickr::

Read some more information about this release, don’t forget the known issues.

Then download Odin, install and test it before you feed our Bugzilla with those juicy reports.

    Great job guys. I like the new theme a lot and can’t wait until they come to KDE too. BTW, the story about Beta 2 has made it to the fromt page on digg.com:
