Mandriva Linux以Mandrake Linux的名称创建于1998年，其宗旨是让Linux对每一个人都更易于使用。当时，Linux作为操作系统已经以其强大和稳定而著称，但它要求人们有很强的专业知识，并涉及大量的命令行操作；MandrakeSoft认为这是一个将最好的图形桌面环境及其自己的图形界面配置工具集成到Linux中的机会，并且很快就因其树立了Linux的易用性标准而著称。在2005年二月，MandrakeSoft与巴西的Conectiva合并为Mandriva S.A.，总部设在法国巴黎。该公司的旗舰产品Mandriva Linux，以一种易于使用且令人愉快的环境，面向个人和职业用户，提供了Linux的所有功能和稳定性。
Eugeni Dodonov has announced the availability of the second beta release of Mandriva Linux 2011: "Despite the last-minute problems discovered last week which resulted in a 1-week delay, Mandriva 2011 beta 2 should finally be hitting the mirrors. As with previous beta release, the images are provided for i586 and x86_64 architectures, and are able to work in both live mode, and can be used for the installation. For this release, most of the UI and desktop-related features should be integrated, including a new login manager functionality, stack folder integration into the environment, new welcome and launcher application, new panel and overall desktop look-and-feel. It also features new default theme and artwork." Read the rest of the release announcement for more details.
