Linux-Mandrake 7
25years of Linux Format
Simplicity and a wide range of applications make this a great distribution for all Linux users.
The excellent installer, with its powerful partitioning tool.
The concept behind Linux-Mandrake was originally born out of Red Hat’s refusal to include KDE in its distribution. This was due to licensing concerns, so Mandrakesoft decided to create a variant of Red Hat with KDE included and ready to go. This meant new users wouldn’t have to find and download the desktop suite from the web. Since then, Mandrake has evolved into a solid distribution in its own right. The new graphical installer is a fantastic, easy-to-use tool, and we had absolutely no problems getting underway with it.
