Mandrakesoft Launches New 'Move' LiveCD

Posted by michael on from the move-on dept.

joestar writes "Mandrakesoft has released the new version of Move, a Linux system on liveCD + USB key which handles configuration data and personal data. The new version is based on Mandrakelinux 10.0, comes with Linux 2.6, KDE 3.2 and OpenOffice.org 1.1. Mandrakesoft claims that with Move, 'Linux becomes a viable option to millions of first-time Linux users'. My experience with former Mandrakemove has been excellent, especially because it had everything I need for internet/multimedia/office, and because of the transparent USB key management. The new Move is available earlier for download for Mandrakeclub Members, and may be purchased as a pack."

  1. Better than Knoppix? by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 2, Interesting


    I'll try this. The Knoppix CD is a little complicated to configure for flash memory access; it seemed that more could be done in software. I hope this one is easier.

    A CD like this is essential when using cyber cafes in poor countries especially. Booting from the CD eliminates one vulnerability to spying.
