Mandriva
Linux(原先的Mandrakelinux)创建于1998年,其宗旨是让Linux对所有人都更易于使用。当时Linux作为操作系统已经以强大和
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易用性和功能性的标准而著称。依靠这种创新的方法,Mandriva
Linux通过一种易于使用并令人愉快的环境,向个人和企业用户提供了Linux所有的强大功能和稳定性。每天都有成千上万的新用户在初识Linux并发
现它可以完全替代他们之前所使用的操作系统。无论是作为服务器还是工作站,Linux都用不着去妒嫉任何其他更广为采用的操作系统了。 Adam Williamson has announced the availability of the first alpha release of Mandriva Linux 2008.1: "Kicking off the 2008.1 development cycle in earnest, the first alpha is here. This alpha features X.Org 7.3, KDE 3.5.8, KDE 4.0 RC2 (in /contrib), GNOME 2.21, kernel 2.6.24, OpenOffice.org 2.3, new NVIDIA and ATI proprietary drivers, PulseAudio by default and more. Despite being a first alpha, it is also in a fairly stable and reliable state, though as always, we do not suggest you use it in a production environment. It is available in Free and One editions, with i586 and x86_64 DVDs for the Free edition and an i586, KDE-based CD for the One edition."
