These are the CD and DVD images of the first beta release of Mandriva Linux 2009. Having a codename of "Thornicrofti", apparently named after the Rhodesian giraffe, this is a rather entertaining build to play around with. It comes with a then-freshly released KDE 4.1.0, along with GNOME 2.23.5. It also features the first use of Splashy to display the bootscreen, as well as kernel 2.6.26. While most other packages are typically at recent stable versions as of this time period, this beta amusingly includes both Firefox 2.0.0.16 and 3.0.1, as a transition measure. Have fun!
