Mandriva Linux 2008 — the worst/best release


Mandriva is well known for its simplicity, ease of use, responsiveness and stability. The 2008 edition was adverized as having all those features and more. A little delay with the release was explained by the need to “polish” the system and correct the bugs that appeared in the last moment. So consequently we all waited for the real revolutionary system, which would show what Linux really can do.

You can find all the guidance and tutorial from Internet and here is one url regarding its installation.
