Mandriva Linux 2006 review

Friday 6 January 2006, 7:50 PM

2005 was much better


For 2006, Mandrivia added what the 2005 release really lacked, bugs. Seriously, IMHO Mandrivia is far more user friendly than any other distro--on par with SUSE. But as the nomenclature suggests the 2006 was released way too early.

Mandriva Linux 2006

Editors rating
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

Featured Talkback

In association with Intel
Its the applications and device drivers that run on windows that cement its dominance. How many people would fork out hundreds of pounds for Vista if Linux ran all the software and kit they wanted to use.
