Mandriva 2009 Linux Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva specifies a minimum of 512 MB memory to run Mandriva 2009 but 
| recommends 1 GB if you want to turn on all the special effects. On my 512 MB 
| machine, it ran flawlessly. The hard disk space requirement is a minimum of 2 
| GB with 6 GB recommendation. 3D acceleration is supported on most capable 
| hardware. If you have any of the NVIDIA, ATITM, Intel, SiS, Matrox and VIA  
| graphics cards, you are in luck as Mandriva One 2009 bundles with it the 
| proprietary drivers for all these cards and you can use the 3D acceleration 
| capabilities out of the box without any further tinkering.      
| 
| This year, Mandriva is celebrating its 10th year of innovation. It has a long 
| history of rolling out robust Linux distributions. The latest release namely 
| Mandriva 2009 is another feather in its cap for a job well done.

If MicrosoftMunchkins attack Mandriva (not just Microsoft, which bribes
Nigerian officials), then Mandriva must be /really/ good. Why else would they
bother?

Mandriva 2009

| The end of the year traditionally is a very busy time for distribution
| lovers…although things are a bit quiet at the moment. Ubuntu 8.10, OpenSuse
| 11 and Fedora 10 are just around the corner, and Debian 5 should have been
| released already but is delayed. That means the only major release so far has
| been Mandriva 2009. Let’s see if its place in the spotlight is deserved.

Mandriva Linux 2009 impresses

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the more exciting inclusions in Mandriva 2009 is the incorporation of
| the LUKS encryption system into the installer. What this means is that
| Mandriva 2009 will allow users to encrypt their partitions directly from the
| installer.

Living with Mandriva

,----[ Quote ]
| That’s pretty much all I’ve done. So far, nothing has crashed, Plasma has
| behaved itself and everything has “just worked”. Mandriva has made me forget
| that I’m using KDE 4, which is actually a good thing!
