[News] More Good Reviews of Mandriva Spring 2008.1, Suitability for Newbies

Mandriva Spring 2008.1

,----[ Quote ]
| If you are a new Linux user, blindly go for Mandriva Spring 2008.1. It hand 
| holds you and you would not require to open the dreaded command line for any 
| normal task. Till now I have not opened it, except for my programming work. 
| It has great artwork and a friendly community too.   
| This release has all the bells and whistles to impress all. Windows users 
| will find the interface very similar to XP. Actually when it comes to 
| installing XP ( with all associated drivers and applications) a new user will 
| find Mandriva much easier and much - much faster.   
| Don´t believe me -- Give Mandriva a try.

In a couple of months, Mandriva will compete with just Vista, Ballmer's "work
in progress" which nobody wants anyway.

| The ease of installing Virtualbox alone is enough to make Mandriva 2008 
| Spring worth a look!

Mandriva Linux 2008.1 - The Blooming Spring.

,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva Linux is a predominantly KDE-centric Linux distribution originating 
| from France. This desktop-oriented Linux distribution which began its 
| production in 1998 owes its popularity to its ease of installation and 
| graphical productive draktools. I decided to review Mandriva 2008 Spring (aka 
| Mandriva Linux 2008.1) when I got to know that, this new Spring edition has a 
| full support for the Asus Eee PC and also improved support for mobile device 
| synchronization.

| 
| In conclusion, there is no doubt that Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring is a great 
| release. Great artwork! The hardware support for this release has been 
| excellent with exception of the support for the two my USB-based TV tuners. I 
| hope that Acer notebook users will be very happy with this release as 
| Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring also comes with third-party acer_acpi and wmi-acer 
| modules. With a very active forum and vast amount of documentation available, 
| help is abundant for the users. One of the things which really made a good 
| impression on me is the mouse pointer integration support by Mandriva 2008 
| Spring, when it is run as a guest operating system on the Virtualbox 1.5.6  
| OSE. With such a support, all of the mouse's actions will be directly sent to 
| the guest operating system when I hover the mouse over the virtual machine's 
| display. Delaying the Mandriva Online applet from checking for updates by a 
| few minutes is also a very good move.
