Customer Reviews of Linux-Mandrake Complete 7.0
A very solid distribution Mandrake 7.0 was the first Linux distribution to recognize all of my hardware right out of the box. I've used all of the major distributions -- Mandrake since 6.0. Mandrake has really grown up in 7.0 and is no longer just "RedHat with features". I recommend this to anyone from a user new to Linux to an experience Linux user.
Mandrake-Linux 7.0
I am new to the linux world, but I've been using Windows for several years now and consider myself well versed in computing functions. I decided to give Linux a try. I first tried Caldera which worked fine but I found out about Mandrake by reading reviews in a magazine. Mandrake 7.0 was definitely easy to install. It detected my laptop components except the pcmcia slot. Partitioning with their Drak program was also very easy. Upon installation the first question asks if you want pcmcia support (or something like that) I answered yes and the installation froze. I rebooted and then answered no to this question and the installation proceeded fine. It even detected my printer. I wanted mandrake for the supermount feature and for it's auto detect feature. For those of you that don't know you have to mount your floppy and cdrom drives in order for linux to read them. You also have to unmount to release the media. When your loading disk after disk this can get tiring. The supermount feature would be a welcomed change. I didn't get to experience the features of mandrake because the program froze on me as it was decompressing. I reported my problems to Mandrake and tech support did respond to my dilemma within 24 hours. I haven't gotten past this glitch yet though. I may have to revert back to Caldera. If your curious go to Mandrake's site because they have great screenshots of the installation process and screenshots of the various desktop managers, kde, gnome, windowmaker, etc.
Beautiful OS but needs work
Linux-Mandrake 7.0 is arcaic now, (Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Linux-Mandrake 8.2 are much better) I couldn't get on the internet with this version. Upside: 7.0 is fast on arcaic computers.
