 Mandriva Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mandriva Linux is also notable for compiling its packages with optimizations for Pentium and AMD64-class and more advanced processors which are incompatible with older CPU versions such as 386 and 486.
Mandriva Linux uses a package manager called urpmi, which functions as a wrapper to the RPM package management system.
As a result, Mandriva Linux provides more optimal performance to this CPU Architecture at the cost of being unusable by the 386 and 486 processors, a problem that rapidly faded out due to current CPU power and memory requirements of latest versions of the popular software.

 The Jem Report - Review: Mandriva Linux 2006 PowerPack Edition
Mandriva Linux (formerly known as Mandrake Linux) is a desktop operating system aimed primarily at experienced computer users and software developers.
Mandriva Linux PowerPack Edition is quite a departure from both of those scenarios -- it allows the experienced user to easily make the OS into exactly what he wants without all the extra "new user" stuff.
If you haven't tried Mandriva in a while, the 2006 PowerPack Edition might be a good way to get back into it -- especially if you want a powerful GNU/Linux distribution but want to avoid doing a lot of manual system administration on your home desktop computer.

Mandriva's real strength is its active user community and its IRC support channel at #mandriva on irc.freenode.org (where I am cilkay).
Mandriva Linux 2006 is available in three editions: Discovery/LX for beginners; PowerPack for advanced desktop users; and PowerPack Plus, for desktops and servers.

Mandriva is a much more freedom-friendly distribution than many of the alternatives.
Mandriva also offers a 6-CD edition of Mandriva Limited Edition 2005, as well as a "mini" CD, which downloads the required software packages over a broadband Internet connection.
Mandriva Linux Limited Edition 2005 is a superb commercial desktop distribution, and perhaps the finest choice for first-time GNU/Linux users.

 Mandriva accelerates Linux desktop push with Lycoris buy - Computer Business Review
Commercial Linux distributor Mandriva knows, just as its Linux rivals do and some in the IT industry did not believe for years, that Linux is not only viable on the desktop, but a necessary alternative to the ubiquitous Windows platform if for no other reason than to keep Microsoft on its toes.
It also said Cheek would be joining Mandriva and helping it to create a better desktop Linux implementation.
Lycoris was founded in 2000 by Joseph Cheek, a former employee of Linuxcare (senior Linux consultant) and Microsoft (network and systems tester), to provide a desktop version of Linux that would be more familiar to Windows shops.

The transition from a straightforward software distro company to a large-scale full-service provider is a big part of Mandriva's emergence into the black, Bancilhon explained.
This acquisition might have seemed small, but in actuality, it could have been one of the biggest moves Mandriva could have made--possibly even bigger than the February, 2005 merger and acquisition with Brazilian distribution Conectiva.
The company has many ties in these regions (the acquisition of Conectiva didn't hurt here, either) and has even developed its main software line with BRIC nations in mind.

 Mandriva Linux tips for free
As shown before, for Mandriva Linux, you'll be far outside of the realm of regular Free/Open Source software if you run into useful software that's not packaged, with over 10GB of packages.
For older x86 processors there's the i386 packages, but those are stone-age in computer terms (Mandriva doesn't compile for the 386 architecture anymore, so you won't find packages for it).
This may be a future alpha/beta/rc version of Mandriva Linux, or some other Linux distribution that you may want to try out.

 Mandriva Aims to Become Linux-Desktop Player
Mandriva, with the recent purchase of Lycoris, a U.S. Linux desktop distributor, is expanding rapidly, but analysts ask whether it's growing fast enough to compete with the major Linux vendors: Red Hat and Novell/SuSE.
Then, in June, Mandriva acquired Lycoris, makers of a Linux home-user desktop distribution and a Linux distribution for tablet-based PCs.
Dan Kusnetzky, IDC's system software vice president, said he sees these moves as an attempt to stave off financial failure.
