Description:
Mandriva Linux 2008 is the ultimate version of Mandriva Linux.
It is the fruit of the convergence of three technologies: Mandriva,
Conectiva and Lycoris.
Mandriva Linux 2008 is also more easy-to-use, more
user-friendly and more powerful. It is ideal for the needs of all
customers, from the beginner to the SOHO user.
Mandriva Linux 2008 is available in three editions: One,
Powerpack and Free, for both i586 and x86-64 architectures. One and
Free can be downloaded free of charge from official Mandriva
mirrors and via BitTorrent.
Mandriva Linux (formerly known as Mandrake Linux) was created
in 1998 with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone.
At that time, Linux was already well-known as a powerful and stable
operating system.
With this innovative approach, Mandriva offers all the power
and stability of Linux to both individuals and professional users
in an easy-to-use and pleasant environment. Thousands of new users
are discovering Linux each and every day and finding it a complete
replacement for their previous operating system. Linux as a server
or workstation has no reason to be jealous of any other more
established operating systems.
Free/Open Source Free Software licensing govern the development
and redistribution of Mandriva Linux. FOSS licensing provides
everyone the right to copy, distribute, examine, modify and improve
the system as long as the results of these modifications are
returned to the community. It is this development model that allows
Mandrivalinux Linux to collect the best ideas from developers &
users from across the globe to result in a rich variety of
techniques and solutions.
Here are some key features of "Mandriva
Linux":
· A computer running the Mandriva Linux operating system
can be as easy to use as a computer which uses Windows or Mac OS --
a fact which has been Confirmed by many IT publications. CNET (a
popular technical online magazine) awarded Mandrivalinux Linux
their "Editor's Choice" saying: "New users, especially those
looking for a quick and easy alternative to Windows or the Mac OS,
will be hard pressed to find a smoother, easier transition to the
world of Linux."
· For comparison, the Mandriva Linux PowerPack contains
thousands high-quality applications including a complete Office
Suite, plus installation support, for a cost of approximately 10
times less than the equivalent Microsoft Windows + MS Office cost,
which comes without any technical support.
· Mandriva Linux requires little maintenance as its
software management system automatically handles dependency issues
and avoids conflicts between applications. Additionally, the
MandrivaUpdate utility allows free and easy updates through the
Internet -- this is an ideal way to stay current with the latest
security-related software updates.
· Due to the strength of Linux, a typical Mandriva Linux
system can run for months without a reboot. Additionally, the i586
version of Mandrivalinux Linux is optimized for Pentium class (and
compatible processors) to provide the highest performance on this
hardware.
· In over ten years of widespread use, only a few
rumored viruses have ever been recorded that affect Linux. This
strong immunity can be explained by the fundamental architecture of
the system which consists of independent layers that have specific
features and strict permissions. Additionally, normal users have a
strict and limited role on a Linux system; it's only the "root"
user (administrator) who has the power to expose an entire system
to possible danger.
· Versions exist for x86, PPC, AMD64 and IA64.
Differences with other Linux operating systems:
· With a graphical installation process recognized by
many as the best available, Mandriva Linux offers the most advanced
and efficient hardware detection.
· A graphical approach to system administration, in
addition to the command line, makes Mandriva Linux the operating
system which takes integration and management of a user interface
the furthest to dispel the image of a Linux system managed only via
command line or text mode.
· Friendly and integrated environments
· Perfect integration of user-friendly graphical
environments such as KDE and GNOME provide comfort and
ease-of-use.
· Several pre-configured security levels
· Mandriva Linux offers several pre-configured levels of
security. A user can therefore choose a desired degree of security
specifically for their computer.
· Centralized configuration system
· Thanks to the Mandriva Linux Control Center, a user
can resort to a single panel to administer the entire system.
Who uses Mandriva Linux?
· Individual users without specific IT knowledge who
require a Linux distribution that is simple to use. Mandriva Linux
is by far the easiest and the most comprehensive.
· Experienced users who prefer not spending hours
installing and configuring their Linux machine. Mandriva Linux is
the most effortless Linux system to install and maintain.
· Professionals who need powerful and stable systems.
Mandriva Linux is one of the most complete Linux distributions and
is quickly becoming one of the most favored systems in businesses
(see Mandriva's customer case studies for many examples of
Mandriva in the workplace).
A few examples of how Mandriva Linux is being used :
Personal purposes:
· Office (OpenOffice.org, KOffice, Abiword,
Gnumeric)
· Internet (Web, Email...)
· Multimedia (Video, Audio MP3, RealPlayer, Flash
player...)
· 2D and 3D games
· Advanced programming
(C/C++/Java/Assembler/Perl/Python/HTML/PHP/GTK/QT)
Server use:
· Web server (Apache with HTTP, PHP, Webdav...):
Mandriva Linux is used to operate computers that deliver web
pages.
· Database Server (PostgreSQL, MySQL, IBM DB2,
Oracle...)
Mandriva Linux is a useful operating system for computers
designed to host database and to link them with Internet
servers.
· LDAP Server
A LDAP server stocks one or various directory data bases.
· FTP Server
FTP Server are the computers that deliver files following the
FTP protocol.
· DNS Server
A DNS server attributes the IP addresses (numeric addresses) of
computers linked to the Internet.
· NIS Server
A NIS Server enables the globalization of user accounts on a
given network
· File Server in a Windows environment
Mandriva Linux manages the attribution and sending of files in
a network of computers running on Windows thanks to the Samba
application
· Email Internet Server (SMTP, POP3, IMAP...)
Mandriva Linux is used in companies and on the Internet to
manage employees' electronic mail.
· Print Server
Mandriva Linux administers printing services for all machines
in the computer network.
· Scientific calculations (SMP, Clusters...)
Mandriva Linux is widely applauded by organizations and all
those who need to carry out scientific calculations. Its
optimization for modern processors gives Mandrivalinux Linux a
significant advantage in comparison to other Linux systems.
What's New in 2008.1 Beta 2 Development Release:
· This pre-release brings recognition of other installed
distributions during installation, NTFS-3G (with write support) by
default for all NTFS partitions, significant improvements to the
Mandriva graphical software management tool and more. The beta is
available in Free and One editions, with i586 and x86_64 DVDs for
the Free edition and i586, KDE-based and GNOME-based CDs for the
One edition. As far as testing goes, for this pre-release we are
particularly interested in testing the NTFS support, detection of
other installed distributions during installation, PulseAudio,
multimedia keyboard support, hardware detection and hibernation
support.
