[newbie] It's out!!!!!!!! (7.1)

We are very pleased to announce the immediate availability
of Linux-Mandrake 7.1 (Helium).

Linux-Mandrake 7.1 continues to build-on and refine the many innovations
first introduced in version 7.0 and adds many new

features certain to please both beginners and experts alike.

The Linux-Mandrake 7.1 GPL archive now spans one or two Cd-Roms to bring
you the best and most up-to-date applications

available.

The 7.1 highlights include: support for multiple Cd-Roms at installation
time, a new journalized filesystem, a highly tuned Apache web

server and a web-based configuration tool that allows remote configuration
of a Linux-Mandrake system through a network.

"Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is our latest offering which provides a complete and
powerful operating system ideal for most needs - from the

home user to the demands of an enterprise with high-performance servers,
and all at low cost. With the ergonomic improvements and

server solutions provided with this release, Linux-Mandrake 7.1 has a great
chance of becoming the new Linux standard for both

enterprise and home use." declared Jacques Le Marois, President of MandrakeSoft.

Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is now available for download from many locations throughout
the Internet. The boxed version, including

commercial applications, printed manuals and support will be available
in retail outlets at the end of June, 2000.

Here's a sampling of some of the most noteworthy benefits:

Linux-Mandrake 7.1 introduces a new menuing system. Applications now appear
in the same categories under all graphical

environments and update automatically as new packages are installed or
removed.

Linux-Mandrake 7.1 offers the new Reiser journalized file system as an
option within the new DrakX graphical installer and

after installation with DiskDrake, the graphical hard drive partitioning
application.

A highly customized version of Webmin is included. Webmin uses the familiar
interface of a web browser to easily setup user

accounts, configure Apache, DNS, FTP, view system statistics and most other
system/server tasks. Webmin can be used

remotely from another PC and even from other operating systems simply by
using a web browser.

Apache 1.3.12 is enhanced with the latest high-performance offerings from
the "Accelerating Apache Project" and provides

out-of-the-box support for Php3, Perl and Ssl extensions.

Cutting-edge XFree 4.0 servers with new modular architecture is available
in the "Expert" installation class, XFree 3.3.3.1 is

standard for other classes.

The Grub user-friendly bootloader is now provided as default. Lilo is an
optional bootloader in an "Expert" install. Both Grub

and Lilo now overcome the 1024-limit.

Helix Code Gnome improvements are incorporated into the Linux-Mandrake
7.1 Gnome-Sawfish desktop environment.

DrakFont is our new open-source font manager for Linux-Mandrake 7.1. This
utility provides an easy and convenient way to

manage fonts on a Linux system. DrakFont can add, remove and even retrieve
Ms-Windows fonts (if located on the same

machine) and make these fonts available to Linux applications.

Kernel 2.2.15 with Linux-Mandrake extensions (secure kernel, supermount
option).

Ata 66 (Udma 66) is supported for users seeking the highest-performance
from Ide hard drives.

i810-based mainboards are now supported in Linux-Mandrake 7.1.

Enhanced USB support for modems, printers, Zip drives, keyboards and mice.

"Wheel" mice are fully functional within most applications (Netscape, Gnome,
Kde, many others).

Linux-Mandrake 7.1 continues to provide features that aren't available
in any other Linux

distributions such as Supermount (transparent access to removable media),
LSec (Linux security

levels), multi-language support and processor optimizations. Try Linux-Mandrake
7.1 today and

see for yourself why Linux-Mandrake is becoming the preferred choice for
both new and

advanced users alike.
