Mandriva Linux 2006 Review

Anonymous Coward writes "In light of the many misunderstandings about Linux, software repositories and installation of packages, part one of this season's Mandriva Linux 2006 review includes an extensive background article about it. It explains why the nature of Free Software leads to a more userfriendly software installation setup for Linux distributions in general, as compared to proprietary systems such as the current desktop market leader. The process is illustrated with Mandriva Linux tools. This first part of the Mandriva Linux 2006 review also contains information on the installation and benchmark figures against previous Mandriva/Mandrake products and much more"

it's still not nearly as pretty as OpenSuse.

Honestly, I think the mass adoption of Linux just won't happen until users can be offered as much eye-candy as XP

You get asked lots of questions, about the timezone, your network setup, and other hard to grasp concepts.
