Hi José

The Gdium will get a Mandriva 2009.1 upgrade pretty soon (we are close
to the RC phase) but it takes time and resources to patch the kernel,
recompile everything and test. It will also take time to have a nice
Chinese localization (I am deploying GCompris in Chinese schools) so I
don't expect using 2009.1 before the first 2010 quarter.

It's good news that you managed to have 8.5 run on Mandriva 2008
though, I will give it a try on the Gdium

Thanks,

Julien
