Yay for 2009.0

Hey guys, I'm back with a brand new operating system :)

After installing I encountered some bug with the display manager that made the keyboard stop working after a while so I needed to use KDM 3.

KDE 4 is awesome! Here's a screenshot:

I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the changes though :( I can't find the new hotkey for "Show desktop", which used to be Ctrl-Alt-D in KDE 3. The PrintScreen key doesn't seem to work, and I need to run the ksnapshot command to take a screnshot. The desktop setting to change the monitor gamma is gone, and I need to use the xgamma command. And more...

Let's try to tame this new penguin :)

Mandriva announced the official public release of Mandriva Linux 2009.0 yesterday. It's the first time in many years they've met their scheduled date! I am downloading it now. Wish me good luck!
