| Anyway, I downloaded Mandriva because I'm tired of Vista. Vista does not
| allow you do easily do high-level, complex things like text editing or web
| browsing. It doesn't seem to understand the "Shut Down" or the "Sleep"
| commands. It does, however, look all kinds of pretty, and it does run
| Microsoft Office, which I don't think Mandriva does. But I use
| OpenOffice.org. Dang.

Linux Format Mega-Distro DVD
,----[ Quote ]
| Some quick initial impressions:
|
| * Mandriva is really nice and solid. The live CD impressed me with its
| installation of the nVidia drivers and thus a full working dual monitor
| setup. It also did very well with my two CD drives, as well as finding my
| Samba home network. A very impressive showing.

Mandriva Linux 2008.1 - The Blooming Spring.
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva Linux is a predominantly KDE-centric Linux distribution originating
| from France. This desktop-oriented Linux distribution which began its
| production in 1998 owes its popularity to its ease of installation and
| graphical productive draktools. I decided to review Mandriva 2008 Spring (aka
| Mandriva Linux 2008.1) when I got to know that, this new Spring edition has a
| full support for the Asus Eee PC and also improved support for mobile device
| synchronization.
|
| [...]
|
| In conclusion, there is no doubt that Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring is a great
| release. Great artwork! The hardware support for this release has been
| excellent with exception of the support for the two my USB-based TV tuners. I
| hope that Acer notebook users will be very happy with this release as
| Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring also comes with third-party acer_acpi and wmi-acer
| modules. With a very active forum and vast amount of documentation available,
| help is abundant for the users. One of the things which really made a good
| impression on me is the mouse pointer integration support by Mandriva 2008
| Spring, when it is run as a guest operating system on the Virtualbox 1.5.6
| OSE. With such a support, all of the mouse's actions will be directly sent to
| the guest operating system when I hover the mouse over the virtual machine's
| display. Delaying the Mandriva Online applet from checking for updates by a
| few minutes is also a very good move.

| The ease of installing Virtualbox alone is enough to make Mandriva 2008
| Spring worth a look!

[Mandriva CEO:] An open letter to Steve Ballmer
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow! I’m impressed, Steve! What have you done for these guys to change their
| mind like this? It’s pretty clear to me, and it will be clear to everyone.
| How do you call what you just did Steve, in the place where you live? In my
| place, they give it various names, I’m sure you know them.
|
| Hey Steve, how do you feel looking at yourself in the mirror in the morning?
|
| Of course, I will keep fighting this one and the next one, and the next one.
| You have the money, the power, and maybe we have a different sense of ethics
| you and I, but I believe that hard work, good technology and ethics can win
| too.

Lessons from Africa: How to Kill Your Own FUD

| So, even as Microsoft claims superior quality over Linux, they act as if they
