    From mandrakelinux.com:

    MandrakelinuxTM is a friendly Linux Operating System which specializes in ease-of-use for both servers and the home/office. It is freely available in many languages throughout the world.

    There's more info on their concept page, but they're basic pitch is Linux for Newbies and switchers from Windows/Macs. I'd say they're going after the end-user market like Linspire, but they're also going after business/government businesses that don't want to spend a lot on "retraining" their users for Linux.
