Mandriva Linux 2006 review

Tuesday 3 January 2006, 1:34 AM

One of many great open source products


Once you get tired of Microsoft controlling your life and treating you like a software thief come and join the fun. You will always find users that support THEIR version of linux. But, we are all family. I'm a 1 year noobie and still staying on. One word of advice "Linux is not Windows things will be different. Don't spend time trying to make Linux into Windows !" But if you want to you can. "Freedom"

Rating: 7.7
Verdict

Mandriva occupies the middle ground between consumer-focused and business-orientated Linux distributions. It's generally well put together, but lacks some details.

Typical price

£ 136
