MANDRIVA 2011


Mandriva is french linux distribution. The latest edition is 2011. Mandriva is one of oldest linux distribution previously it was known as Mandrake linux.

Mandriva is originally based on RHEL but it has now become independent. Its pack manager os urpmi and on the GUI side there is rpm drake.

Mandriva 2011 is officially supports only KDE. Looks and feel its awesome. KDE here looks like pretty bride. The menu is called take of menu which takes up the whole screen which includes timeline that displays when your photos or videos are stored that is a great convinence. One thing that I dont like is the scrolling through the menu is like walking with a hurt leg. The default music player is clementine the mp3 worked well but not the flash. Mandriva gives you 2GB cloud storage as Mandriva sync which works dandy.

As far stability is concerned it not so stable but usable. You can give it a try .
