[News] Another Mandrive Linux Rave and New PCLinuxOS Magazine

Switching to Linux which distro to use, Mandriva?

,----[ Quote ]
| Wow, I was quite happy. Everything just worked, no glitches, no bugs I could 
| easily find, or any thing I wasn’t able to do from lack of drivers. In my 
| opinion, the perfect choice for a Linux newbie. Mandriva 2008-1 spring gets 
| three pinguins.

Mandriva LINUX - Great For Newibes Who Want To Test LINUX

,----[ Quote ]
| The bottom line is this: Mandriva is a great LINUX distribution and the 
| hardest part about setting it up was downloading the disk image via 
| BitTorrent (because my ISP throttles BitTorrent… grrrr. Though you can 
| download it via a web browser too. But it will take longer). If you’ve been 
| looking for a way to experiment with LINUX, this is the best way to do it. I 
| highly recommend it.

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.
