MandrakeMove Bootable Linux CD Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the penguin-and-waddle dept.

joestar writes "MandrakeSoft just announced the release of the MandrakeMove release candidate, a special desktop version of the Mandrake Linux distribution that boots live from the CD and uses a USB key (included in the retail version) to automatically store personal data. It looks a bit like Knoppix, but comes with more features, such as the capability to eject the MandrakeMove CD-ROM during its use, in order to read audio or video files from another CD! The download release candidate is available here."

    Since it may permanently disable the CDROM drive. ;)

      I sure hope LG posts a patch for the FLUSH_SENSE_OF_HUMOR bug that seems to occur in many Slashdotters. :)

    MandrakeMove Bootable Linux CD Announced

    A Mandrake is a plant - and plants don't normally move. But I guess it is a "live" CD...

    Is this a troll to get some poor dudes email box full of hate mail? If so, do it elsewhere. This is Slashdot where high morals, integrity, repect and politeness abound.
