 Rating: - My brother and I really love it!I first see this Mandrake Linux PowerPack Edition 9.1 on my brother's notebook. Together with my brother, I found it so flexible and durable. It can recognize MOST plug-in peripherals so easily without any problems. Since my brother works in an IT company, we both agree that Linux is THE BEST choice for us. Even, my old Linux 2.2.6 performs far better than the leading brand OS, especially in networking. The best of all, it is cheaper but performs far better than the leading brand OS. If you need ...

My only real complaint involves the control center. Here Redhat still has Mandrake beat. Rating: - Overall, excellent Linux DistributionFirst of all, I gave Mandrake Linux 9.1 5 stars because there is no option for 4.5 stars, and I rounded up. Second point, I am using the download edition, so I am reviewing a product that is no as extensive and complete as the Power Pack. Third point, I am giving ML 9.1 5 stars as compared to the state of the art in the Linux world. Having said all that, Mandrake Linux is the only OS I run both for work and for personal use. Some of the bright points in 9.1 include: (1) Easy ... Read More |
