Mandriva Linux 2006 review

Monday 9 January 2006, 11:24 AM

Wonderful once you can get rid of some nasty bugs


For example: make sure that Kat is not installed (normally installed by default).

Further this is the best OS I ever used.

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
