43 Comments
The third new Linux distribution release this week, Mandrake Linux 8.0 has begun to appear on FTP mirrors after two months in beta. Mandrake touts itself as "a user-friendly Linux operating system that is easy to manage and use, yet retains all the power and reliability that has made Linux so successful." Version 8.0 updates the graphical environment, adds the Mandrake Control Center to customize computer settings, sports the latest Linux Kernel 2.4.3, and features additional 3D support with an update to XFree86. Mandrake is a great way to get started with Linux and is extremely simple to install and configure. To download, visit mandrakesoft.com or one of the many FTP mirrors.
